I see it coming: "Pay five bucks to get your message delivered in just ten minutes!"
- k__ 10y agoI raise you: "Pay ten bucks to only get messages delivered to you once a day!"
- NegativeK 10y agoPay fifteen bucks for the message, we'll refund the customer their $10, and deliver the message RIGHT NOW!
- avindroth 10y agoGood tongue-in-cheek, but I see no incentive for them to add such a feature. There is zero economic incentive to pay and stay in that frame, and subsequently none for the company to adopt that approach.
- tomjen3 10y agoHonestly if you want to pay ten bucks to get me a message _right now_, thats okay. The message is probably really important. It is all the legends of crap that gets send because email isn't even a penny a letter I object to.

Even physical mail is too cheap; advertisement leaflets and "free" catalogues are like 90% of my total mail volume (after putting "do not deliver advertisements to this mailbox" stickers on everything), a worse quota than with email (after setting up basic spam filters).
- TeMPOraL 10y agoThis is one of the things that make me hate advertising industry the most. Just count up the physical spam you get weekly, multiply by your country's population and divide by average household - and you get a good low-bound estimate of how much paper, ink and energy goes from a manufacturer straight to garbage can, with the sole side effect of pissing people off. It's ridiculous.
