@dwr.eth , @v and team, that proposal is for you guys 👆 @simondlr, @vitalik.eth I would be interested what you think about this application of the harberger tax given that you've very likely witnessed more experiences around it than I did 🙏

I feel like the challenge here is that channels are a public good to a greater extent than domain names. This approach works great for branded channels, where there is a single natural payer that gets a large portion of the benefit from the channel, but there's lots of other examples that don't work well.

Eg. imagine someone making a channel for a particular country. This is a public good for people from that country. If you HT it, then you *increase* the chance it goes to the highest bidder, and it's much less clear that the natural highest bidder is a good actor. Even the government: they could abuse it to censor.

Or eg. (scrolling through the list of channels I'm subscribed to) "history", "longevity", "network-states", "privacy" ... none have natural top bidders that are obviously aligned with being fair stewards of the channel.
