So let’s say you got your way and everyone stopped paying to follow, how would that help Twetch or Twetch users?

Yes it would, make it free to follow me and as I post more things and people like my content I’ll make more money. You only follow once, you can like every single post. If I was really famous I would charge a lot more to follow my private account!

If following was free and there were millions of users... that would be millions and millions of less BSV transactions. It would essentially defeat the purpose of building a platform on top of BSV that is supposed to have rapid transactions.
The whole point of paying to do every action on Twetch is to reduce spam, trolling, etc... if it was free to follow people then there would be tons of fake accounts just like with Twitter. So we def need to keep paying to follow a thing. I don’t want bots.
Yes, who cares if I have 1 million spam followers. I don’t really need to interact with my followers. They are paying me for my content. And that’s the point. As of now it’s free. Maybe it’ll be worth something in the future.
And you can cap free followers at like 10000 and then make people pay. Try and get 10000 free followers. Good luck!
I guess we will just have to wait and see how it all plays out, I’m just an observer. I have no idea what will happen.
