I have a perfect idea for fixing and funding this app simultaneously: make each reply cost $1, to be refunded when it is liked by the OP.

Furiously responding to my own reply demanding that OP like my posts, digging myself deeper and deeper into Poster's Debt

may i suggest that you can also be refunded if you ratio the original post - this preserves the vital social function of dunking

This will lead to poast inflation where only drill quality tweets will get likes, mediocre posters wont be able to feed their families

See if this were the old app I'd say 'Omg Theo stop being such a whiny poopy pants'. But it just doesn't feel right here. 🤔 It's illegal to be mean now.

I remember reading a proposal like this for email as a protection against spam. The price was a penny I think, which is fine for most people but would devastate spammers.

(Make sure to like my post so I don't get charged $1)

There's only one way to move from a shitty reply guy to a great reply guy and that's treating your replies like they're worth something

I like this concept, but you should also be able to "earn" replies by liking things at a rate of 20 likes = 1 reply. Otherwise, this system would get deflationary fast...

"buhhh what about misinformation" simple. If anybody at all strays from my perfect beliefs they are killed with a sword. The reply tax system will adequately fund agents and equip them with swords.

This is a pro-elitest anti-dunk tax that should only be implemented if they add an extra button to vote on whether posters take should also be taxed or not and if it's a yes vote they get fined an amount that's equal to the difference in votes

This will improve the quality of takes
