If businesses can simply buy their way around the problem they’ll do exactly that.
There’s a finite amount of money such that, if you got paid that amount, you’d be happy receiving an unsolicited ad email. There’s also a finite amount of money such that, if they had to pay that amount, it wouldn’t be worth it for advertisers to send you an email.
In equilibrium (probably given lots of additional specification of details) this makes the content you receive worth it.
I don’t see where this goes wrong in a way that’s solved by PoW.
I don’t get this.
