People keep underestimating how fundamental PoW and fee-based friction are to Bitcoin’s resilience. Any attempt to introduce filter rules or heuristics inevitably drifts toward centralization and soft censorship. What makes Bitcoin unique is exactly that it doesn’t rely on trusted third parties to “decide” what is spam. Fees + PoW are the only neutral and sustainable mechanisms we have, and relaxing arbitrary mempool filters is a step in the right direction.
