Would SN consider adding this pay-per-view feature for full-sized images for users w/ Sats in their wallets who opted in to the functionality?
I wonder if there's any legal issues with selling access to photos in such a way?
I don't think there are legal issues.
For SN I don't think it really makes sense to charge for viewing images. Consuming/reading/viewing SN is free/open and we want to keep it that way.
We might let stackers paywall their stuff at some point, but I think paywalls suck.

Oh god, paywall is rubbish. We have enough paywalled gardens aka social media out there, stacker news does not need it.
