I don't understand how smart technical people believe it's possible to prevent spam through static filtering rules.
I. Just. Don't. Understand it.

Unfortunately this is completely normal human behaviour (which I don't pretend to be immune for, but I try).
Perhaps we could implement a proof of work to prevent spam on the chain. Oh wait...
Every time I say anything about the issue, someone tells me I think filters will stop all spam, even though I’ve never said it once, and have said the opposite on many occasions
People want some options for deterring spam, like making it more cost prohibitive.
Observing spam & coming up with some solutions that mess with their efforts shouldn't be dismissed.
The whole energy around this mess just proves one thing:
Core devs haven't had to deal with the free market in quite some time.
It's time.
💯
We have consensus rules. Nothing you say makes anything more cost prohibitive. They will just use Taproot outputs.
Regardless of opinions on this exact issue, core devs need some pushback & Bitcoiners need optionality.
I think this energy for example is abhorrent:
Excellent take by me! :-)
The fact that many Bitcoin Core developers are paid by someone, when that someone is NOT YOU, does not make YOU a customer that gets to demand things. You need to hire developers directly if you want to work on your behalf.
