I guess Blurt is a little bit different from its other sibling's blockchains. It's more close than Steem Blockchain than Hive Blockchain. So actually Blurt now is Blurt and It has nothing to do with its the hard fork source.
So to avoid spam and others disgusting posting they created something more simple and complex the same time: If you want to put trash comments and trash pots also you must pay for. After that, the trending appears naturally more cleanup. I remember when it was launched some people put a lot of pornography posts and a lot of garbage posts. Now it's more cleanup. Simple was that: You want to put trash, garbage, "basura" or "lixo", no problem. Just pay for.
Moreover, they create a "dead-lock" as you can find in DeFi (if you use that, I will explain after). let me explain this "dead-lock". So if you want to put a comment on a post, you must pay a fee of 0.003 BLURT. If you have a couple of BLURTs and you want or you need to do a POWER DOWN to have BLURT to pay those fees (or any other fees) and you have just a 0.001 BLURT. You are in "dead-lock". You have BLURT in your pocket but you haven't BLURT to open your pocket. Catch up!
To solve that you must buy BLURT to pay fees. So none of the other blockchains like Steem or Hive you must pay fees for that kind of operation.
I considerer that they created this feature to avoid disgusting post or something like that, but... I guess that in a short time it must be changed. They believe that you must post to have BLURT but to post you must to pay for... It has no sense!
So if you believe that they are right or it has sense on that, put your comments below.
New accounts created through signup come with a 14 day faucet so users can post and earn their first BLURT tokens and not have to buy from the market.
@agr8buzz Have a place link where I can found this information?
