It's not the same.

If you do a box diagram, it pretty much is. The debate on whether the costly signal will be effective or appropriate seems to have devolved to a religious one.

They are different but you just don't really listen when I try to explain the difference to you.
I'm not sure our ideas on Boost systems are completely incompatible. You won't catch me Boosting anything, but I'll be happy to give the boosted content an accurate 5 star rating.
Not to put words in you mouth but it sounds like you think Boost is not valuable to you thus it isn't at all. Lots of people think bitcoin is worthless, but its value is independent of individual opinions. Boost enables people who disagree to fliter you.
Not worthless. But probably as valuable as the "Promoted" ads on Twitter. Essentially Boost is the same model if you ignore what's under the hood..except probably less refined because those Twitter "boosts" are weighted based on my accumulated profile.
