People don't like to hear this but
"The more you understand bitcoin, whether that is from a philosophical nature of sound money, or a technical perspective of how the network operates, the more you think of spam as an attack vector on #bitcoin "
Let me try to explain to you by simple example: -
You get all kinds of emails in your inbox and when you know that it's spam, you report (aka filter) it as spam. Next time you don't let that email enter into your inbox next time and as you get more spam emails, you keep filtering them (EVEN IF YOU KNOW THAT FILTERING THESE SPAM EMAILS WILL NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE FROM THE ROOT BUT YOU DON'T MIND PLAYING CAT AND MOUSE GAME WITH SPAMMERS)
Email is based on open source protocol (aka SMTP) and anyone is free to send any information by following the rules of this protocol but since they followed all the rules of the protocol, it doesn't make that information viable. You can't just let that information (aka spam) enter your inbox (because that information follows all rules of SMTP protocol)
Now replace email with your node and replace information (following all rules of SMTP protocol) with arb data (i.e.inscriptions, BRC-20 tokens stamps) and think through it.
If you don't filter these spams then you will incentivize them to do more and more in future. If you do then either they will come up with different ways (maybe a more efficient way which could help with the bloating blockspace situation in the case of the Bitcoin network) or they might completely stop it since people are way more aware than before and their scam won't work anymore.
"YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP ARB DATA GETTING INTO BITCOIN BLOCKSPACE" IS A PSYOP. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.
LONG LIVE #BITCOIN
