I’ll start this by saying I’m not a developer so I don’t truly know why someone hasn’t implemented saylors orange check yet but IMO it’s an easy way to stop spam that is unbiased.

People won’t be able to pay to trend, (spamming zaps) too many times because they will eventually run out of money. Sure it’s early so it’s relatively cheap to do for now but I don’t see this being the end case.

Regardless people are not upset by you trying to stop spam, they are upset by the lack of transparency or perceived lack of transparency. If you had a primal feed where people had to put up some sats to be displayed I’m sure they would use it. Then have your non filtered feed where anything goes. Let people pick for themselves and they will be happy. Pick for them and they will leave your platform. Specially anyone that’s here now, the current nostr users are going to be even more adverse to any kind of filtering than future users will be so as a developer you must be particularly sensitive to perceptions around censorship IMO.
