Derek Ross on Nostr: The thoughts are that at least an initial paywall will reduce spam as it will ...
The thoughts are that at least an initial paywall will reduce spam as it will eventually get expensive for spammers in the long run. That said, the paywall needs to be high enough that it makes spammers think twice, because they'd need to pay for every single pubkey that they want to spam with. If they keep getting muted/blocked/banned then that cost will go up for them, making them focus on free/non-paid servers.
