A fee would discourage new people from interacting with Steemit. Posting has to be free because Steem is more than just Steemit. Steemit is only the first iteration of Steem. So how would this global rule effect all of Steem and all iterations of Steem? It would reduce the ability to post on stuff which is unrelated to Steemit?

Hmm that's a good idea too

I thought that was explicitly called out as a problem in the white paper.
