From what I can see, none of the people talking about this understand the decentralization of bitcoin either.

Bitcoin decentralization is directly proportional to the cost of running a node. Cheaper node = more decentralization

Has no one noticed how much more computationally expensive it is to run a node since the spam started?

How many Raspberry nodes have left?

Now imagine if the restriction is removed and we allow spam.

There are people who run a node because we want to verify our transactions without relying on a third party, and we use Bitcoin every day. It is also our bank, which is why we defend it tooth and nail and do not want it to change, because we do not want to risk losing our savings.

Here, most of those in favor of spam don't have "skin in the game."

I have a feeling it’s an intentional attack vector. Obviously circumstantial, but there seems to be a pattern of the kind of people being pro these changes and pro Core…in the meantime, I’m running Knots.

Removing the op return limit is not aimed at allowing spam. It pushes spam into a box where it can be indentified as incidental data rather than potential transaction outputs which bloat the UTXO set. I can understand disagreeing with that approach but it is far from "allowing spam". The actual spam...

The era of 1TB SSD Nodes is swiftly coming to an end. Increasing the cost of hardware requirements raises the barrier to entry. We must avoid this trap! #Bitcoin
