Because it's so retarded that people say not wanting jpegs on Bitcoin is censorship. Deserves caps imo.

Fair enough. Hehe
I feel like the actual argument is taking place on how "not wanting jpegs" would even be accomplished.
Some people want to foolishly patch their nodes with a filter;
Some people want to go back to 1mb blocks;
Others want to recalibrate the witness data discount;
Then there are the free market purists who trust the fee market to be dynamic.
Ps. Hard drive space isn't a concern right now.
What's the argument against the patch?
I agree that the size isn't an issue. I've just bought a 2tb SSD for $100 and that should last a while.
My problem is with the idea that we can't do anything or would be hypocritical to do something.
Ultimately I think jpegs will have to be mostly priced out anyway.
