I’d love something like this implemented for email. Sending an unsolicited email to a random person X requires you to pay a small toll (something like 50p). Subsequent emails can then be sent for free - however person X can “revoke” your access any time necessitating a further toll payment. You would of course be able to pre-authorise friends/family/transactional emails from various services that you’ve signed up for. This would nuke spam economics and be minimally disruptive for other use cases of email IMO… | ||

>transactional emails from various services that you’ve signed up for These are one of the main culprits of unwanted emails... and a toll system would make them all the more valuable for the even worse actors to take advantage of. | ||
