You're taking my analogy too literally. A boosted message sent to me can be replicated and spammed to many potential readers with the same one off funding of the signal.
Money is a representation of work (aka spent energy). That's why we use it to aquire the fruits of someone else's labours. It allows us to trade the fruits of our past labour for someone else's. If the signal is energy spent for no discernable benefit to the spender why does it matter whether it was spent on PoW vs any other mechanism from the signal readers point of view?
In boostpow the signal generator isn't even doing the work themselves. They're either paying a miner to do it for them or they outsourcing it to an ASIC they own and paying the energy company.
