it’s impossible to prevent arbitrary data from bidding block space on bitcoin. monetary use can and should outbid it - that’s how bitcoin is designed to pay for itself

you don’t have a right to cheap onchain txns. focus on offchain

That's not the argument. Property rights is. I do what I want with my computer and my software. You don't have the right to force nodes to relay things they don't want to.

Other than that, I agree about off chain being the fee avoidance mechanism.

who's forcing you do to anything? you can fork the code and change whatever you want

No need to fork but yeah, that was my point. Running core would force me to relay large OP_RETURN transactions. So, I won't run it.

No one is saying it’s possible

We are just asking not to make it easier and cheaper

it's not easier and it's not cheaper but it IS pronable from UTXO set

if you think bitcoin is worth something you must also understand that eventually using it will be super expensive, for economic and garbage alike

It is easier and cheaper by not having to go off band to a miner to include your jpeg on the chain

That’s also unclear. It will be more expensive than it is now.

21M is the filter on a long enough timeframe.

If nodes don’t want to relay certain information, that is their policy and should be able to if desired.

But when a valid block is mined, consensus rules state that they have no choice but to accept it or fork new consensus rules.

Policy ≠ Consensus
