That will all change as soon as any cards that scale damage with number of tags come out, of course, at which point this will be a much better card. But for now, this is primarily a card for cash-rich Psychographics decks.
With this guy you're dependent on runner stealing your agenda - much less reliable. But here runner cannot choose not to pay, unless he wants to keep the tags till the end of game.
I faced trace 15 with this. I could spend 11 and still get 4 tags and zeroed account.
I chose 15 tags, and then got hit with Closed Accounts
You cant do that with SEA source.
I agree that TAG punishing is quite limited, but Psychographics with this can win games - scoring overscored Baele or 5/3 form hand - huge.
SE plays also like runner keeping TAGs forever - its relatively easy to be safe from SE for 1 turn, being safe from SE and deprived of resources whole game long is a different matter.
IMO its not better, its not worse, its completely different approach to TAGing runner on a completely different scale.
Getting a single tag to stick is not often the problem - but either the runner Decoy's it away or they remove a tag during the turn they take a tag. But if you can hit them with multiples, like Breaking News/Big Brother, then the corp is much more likely to start their own turn with the runner tagged, which opens up opens for SE, Closed A/C's, Psychographics, etc.
It also opens up more mind-games as the runner now has to worry about whether they should steal that easily-accessed agenda or not, because they are risking heavy retribution.
