Isn't that the started intent? Like adding a small roadblock or captcha.

I'm not saying I agree but the simple logic should work. It'll likely reduce the user base and still let bits in with cash to burn.

In theory, maybe. In practice, the bots might just pay and post anyway. If they can recoup those costs in the scam, it costs them basically nothing.

So bots pay to continue what they're doing, but Musky now gets money for it?
