Since I don't own mining equipment, what is the difference between the costly signal of paying matterpool as a costly signal vs paying Baemail/the recipient as a costly signal?

It only makes sense when signaling many to many. Anything else will make the recipient wonder, perhaps bitterly, why he's not getting paid for the value of his content, time, or other product.

I still don't see how it makes sense as a signal to anybody.
I'm a fan of @24 . But I don't see anything that Boost does better than standard payments with Bitcoin. It's the economics that fails. It clearly diverts funds away from what should be going to content creators and promoters/marketers to miners.
Just try not using it and see what happens!!!
It will be an interesting experiment. I think it will be easy not to use it. If I want to signal in a superior manner all I have to discern which party to pay directly. Please..show me one case where this won't be true. I want to be wrong.
