"You could always mine blocks full of OP_RETURNs not just 100kb but 1MB. The only thing the relay limit did was ensure that only miners with private channels or preferential peering ever saw them thus centralizing properties. That's not a spam defense: it's a miner-cartel subsidy. Removing the relay limit doesn't create a new capability. It removes an information asymmetry and fixes a malincentive. Now everyone sees the same transactions which reduces centralization pressure and levels the field for smaller miners instead of privileging well-connected pools. Why remove the limit entirely"

"Relay policy is not consensus. Anyone can adjust their nodes' relay defaults as they see fit that's precisely the point. Policy is local and voluntary. you are free to set defaults however you may please or update at your own volition. What is a different category entirely is attempting a miner-activated soft fork at a 55% threshold after vibecoded testing breaking hooks and scripting and potentially even breaking consensus. That's not routine policy tuning but rushed governance of the base layer ๐ฌ A softfork should receive more scrutiny and should definitely not have an activation height"

That's the reality of how most people update on highly technical non-intuitive issues: through trust Which is also why so many short-circuited when universally beloved Adam Back took a different view.

"There's a small nuance between incentivizing something and removing a malincentive. Dropping the relay limit didn't suddenly make OP_RETURN attractive to spammers. It fixed a distortion. By artificially restricting the standard you pushed users who needed reliable timely inclusion toward uglier workarounds - like fake pubkeys or other script constructions that are objectively worse for the UTXO set. Removing the limit corrected that incentive mismatch. It didn't make OP_RETURN cheaper. It didn't make it the most efficient data storage method. In fact it remains more costly than alternatives."
