It's not the typing. This comment thread isn't the context of someone who is submitting a link. Product design is about embodying the appropriate context at every step.
I agree it might be worth experimenting with given everyone's feelings around it. My intuition says this is better implemented as a gentle nudge/reminder, e.g. "posts with a thoughtful comment by the OP earn 300% more sats on average."

Yep, maybe hide a text input field for a first comment in
options?I think we shouldn't at least penalize OPs commenting their links with an additional fee of 10 sats (just confirmed locally on

or make an exception in the spam interval for this - probably required even with the optional text input field

This self-reply spam interval was created because people complained about OPs commenting on their own posts 2-5 times adding other links and context (not commentary) ... and so they would be disappointed when they opened an item and there wasn't a discussion.

but should the first comment also cost more sats?

AHA probably not.

Yes, good idea.
