If you remove cost, you have infinite spam. If you gate sign ups, it's not permissionless. Warpcast has tried a couple of large, reasonably scaled experiments with free sign ups and the long term retention rate is basically 0.

Quality sign ups probably. I don’t wanna invite someone who will either be a bad actor (spam) or even a qDAU.

You can invite people today (and can optionally pay for their sign up)?
