Several solutions exist. We have Proof of Work for notes and paid relays. If I set my client to only show notes with a minimum Proof of Work of 1, they all go away, and so does nearly all of the comments from regular people, because most people don't use PoW. Paid relays are the simple and easy fix. I set my feed to not show content from public relays and all of the noise disappears. However, not everyone uses paid relays.
As for your suggestion, pay per note is a concept that relays can implement. The payments go to the relay operator.

These “accounts” have no metadata event or relay list. They just expose the weakness in depending upon individual mutes. It’ll always be wack a mole to some extent.
Yes, what I meant is that that or spmething simolar becomes the standard, I don't have paid relays and even forgot about the PoW filter/function tbh
It just wasn't bothering me enough till now
So maybe all we need is that the problem get's big enough that people start caring and looking for solutions 😉
So a bit like the ordinals/high fee problem we're having
Some people pay $1m to have their commercial published on TV. It all depends what you think you're getting out of the publication.
What I'd you check user wallet balance is above 0 or some other useful amount of sats before post is allowed. Not a cost per follower. Playing with this idea.
