Boost is like purchasing a neon sign for your oyster stall in an oyster market. It will naturally attract buyers, but they still need to check the quality of the oysters. A seller would only invest in the sign if he was confident his oysters were better.

Boost is like burning money. It's a costly signal, but a supremely common one that is offensive. If it plays out like real life, 9 of 10 of those signals will be false. Boost is embarrassing..segwit level embarrassing.

Once we get Boost incorporated into Twetch it won't even be worth it to you to bother saying that!
If it's implemented on Twetch, I probably won't be interested in Twetch anymore for all the noise created by people who have more money than they ought to have.
It's a stable strategy so eventually you won't be able to avoid it.
Boost is precisely the same as variable payments for likes. Having miners do a pony show in the background doesn't really change that. The critical difference is you're paying miners for an unnecessary show instead of paying content creators. Thumbs down.
