The bots have to pay. A Nigerian Prince will need 100s of thousands... maybe millions of spam posts to find victims to scam.
And the % actually scammed by Nigerian Princes is incredibly small... meaning that Nigerian Prince scammers and spammers will need to pay lots of sats and I mean LOTS to continue spamming the internet.
Twatter has no pay-to-post anti-spam mechanisms and it is a disaster. Youtube too. Facebook also.
Reddit has 'moderation' which is different.
Only Stacker News really has the pay-to-post qualities derived from 'proof-of-work' and that alone makes it special IMO.

I'm not arguing whether the pay-to-post mechanism would work, I'm questioning how you prove a post was paid for?
Like, this comment could have been free for me to make because I have special privileges. How can you prove otherwise?
