I like the idea of web as a blockchain of content. If you want to pull some data, you have to pay for it with some kind of token. You either buy that token to consume information if you're of the leecher type, or get some by doing contributions that gain back tokens.
It's more or less the same concept as torrents back in the day.
This should be applied to emails too. The regular person send what, 20 emails per day max ? Say it costs $0.01 per mail, anyone could pay that. But if you want to spam 1,000,000 everyday that becomes prohibitive.

This seems flawed.
Poor people living in 3rd world countries that make like $2.00/day wouldn't be able to afford this.

Companies and people with $ can easily pay this with no issues. If it costs $10,000 to send 1M emails that inbox but you profit $50k, its a non issue.
