I agree. I've always felt that zaps should somehow be used as a penalty for spammers. If nothing else, give me a ton of settings and filters for whatever spam mechanism is tied to zaps. I know some people hate having money tied to Nostr but even the centralized platforms have practically given into the spammers. It's fucking everywhere. I'd rather pay 21 sats to send you a note than have my view filled with spam. We can try to centralize and filter all we want, but I think economic pain is a more reliable approach. And it would be cool if it could somehow help fund development. I know everyone wants free but the cost of that has become too high, in my opinion.
I guess we could add a way to exempt people we follow. Like you get a pass with my follow. Everyone else, pay or fuck off.

Obviously the note would still be there, but that doesn't mean I need to see it. I guess we could just filter all notifications by follow, but I'm okay with giving others a way through in case they have something interesting to say. It'll just cost them to prove that worth. Not sure how you'd do all the verification stuff though. None of these issues have simple answers.
