Expensive? I am confused.
I actually don't understand any of the points you are making.
The point of it would by that someone TODAY, can't start pretending to be someone who created his profile and starting posting 3 years ago.
I dont know what you mean by 'commitment at key creation'
Also, at the very least you could timestamp all the stuff you are collecting yourself🤷♂️

Yes, I meant not free. Opentimestamps uses bitcoin transactions, which have fees, so someone has to pay. Now donations pay for it.

That someone has to pay for opentimestamping, most likely when they create the key and publish their profile.

sure, that has some utility but it's not really easy to use to determine which is the "real" profile. For example in case of name-squatting or key rotations (e.g. Ben Arc multiple real profiles).
