I don't owe anyone my time or attention

Maybe we should apply the idea that we had for DMs to replies in general: You can configure how much someone has to pay to reply to one of your posts or comments and these fees would go straight into your wallet. So instead of muting them, you can just make them pay.

The first problem I see though is how it should work in threads: should the fees of everyone who would get a notification apply? That would probably be annoying so maybe only the setting of the one you're directly replying to should matter.

I love it!

I've advocated for OP's getting to set the reply fee before, but I hadn't thought of it being customizable to individual responders.

I also like applying this idea to tagging stackers, which I know @k00b has brought up before.

I want that too! Fantastic, a good way to punish (I don't know if it's ethical)

It's your attention and your post. You have every right to set the terms of engagement.

You just need to be fine with it being visible to them afaict

You may find people are losing arguments or want to have the last word so they insult the other person then jack up the price

now what if I am very upset because you called me a troll, and then I have to pay 1 million sats

(if you're lucky, you'd find someone rich and/or angry who would pay it)

There might be an epidemic of people trying to get a rise out of Darth.

I also see a way to do timing attacks with this, lol

We'd need to make sure that the fee can't change while your reply is in flight.

Just sending the fee that you're willing to pay with your reply might be enough already.

We should probably do this in general, too!

Speaking of timing, maybe you can change a fee once a day (no clue the cadence). Also, what about deleting comments on your item once per day / week

It should be. I like it. If someone wants to know something, wants a piece of advice, or want to learn something, let them pay. And why not, we want see a doctor, do we see them for free?

Careful with that analogy. You'll trigger the commies who love socialized medicine.

Haha! You got me. I wasn't really serious though I mean it. A 10 to 100 sats for a DM for now is okay.

Like a miner fee. They could create alts to bypass, but that would be extra work for them.
