I was talking about OP_RETURN space, but witness signature data could be another argument.

OK. You're very kind to keep entertaining me here.

So, if I understand this correctly, in its current form, people are using the op_return space for messages unrelated to their transaction, and by increasing the limit to this space, larger messages will be allowed?

What is the most frequent type of 'spam' we currently encounter in this space (text, images, etc.) and how might this change with a larger space available?

Images and Shitcoin tokens are being embedded into transactions. With more space available, more of this can happen, making it easier. There's also the issue of the unknowns. We know that this will increase the spam or images and Shitcoins. But what else will this allow? The unknowns are the scary part that we should not forget about.
