So for you JPEGs (of butts and dicks) on the Bitcoin MONETARY network are not spam. You would allow, like any shitoiner, even audio, video and whatever people want. Maybe make the blocks bigger to put MP3s. Its the people data which is not spam for you.

For me and my Knots node, this is spam.

I wouldn't want blocks to get any bigger. Like it or not, your knots node contains jpegs already. 4mb is more than large enough for blocks on L1. I don't think they ever need to get any bigger. Certainly not any time soon.

I welcome all adequate filters and limits that remove spam as much as possible for Bitcoin to continue be robust MONETARY network.

And I respect your right to filter your mempool however the f*** you want to. But you don't get to decide what blocks make it into your node.

Wrong. I do decide with my Knots node. I can set the filters however the fuck I want.

How are you not getting this man. Once a block is confirmed it's confirmed in your node my node and every other f****** node. Whether you like it or not you're not node contains JPEGs right now. You don't even understand the difference between confirmed blocks and mempool.

I told you to read this but it seems you didn't do it.

"What about Miners?

Miners are suppliers of blocks, nothing more. Nodes demand consensus-compatible blocks as a vessel for key reassignment. Miners’ ability to influence the protocol is limited to the wiggle room within the protocol’s magic numbers.

For example, they can limit blocksize if they can cooperate and coordinate over shared incentives, and they can exclude transactions in the same way. But when a miner exercises any power that is detrimental to consensus they approach high risks at a quick pace.

This same dynamic applies to re-orgs, 51% attacks, etc. These attacks are not only risks to miners in that there is a cost in sacrificing blocks or failing probabilities, they run the higher-level risk of being entirely ignored and excluded from extra-protocol consensus, the market itself.

Nodes actually define what a “miner” is."

I'm well aware of how Bitcoin works.

Do these jpegs use up more blockspace or get a free ride?

There are meme shitcoins and NFT shitcoins for jpegs.

There's no difference for the network what data takes up the blockspace as long as there's a free market for fees. Big transactions pay big fees, this is how Bitcoin works.

I know you want to make Bitcoin audio / video straming service but this is not what Bitcoin is for.

Bitcoin is THE Global Most Secure Decentralized Unconfiscatable Peer-to-Peer Scarce Hard Sovereign Freedom Money and Greatest Store of Value

And should remain being that.

No I don't. Once again ascribing motive to me that I do not have.

Nice to hear then that you think jpegs, audio, video and other non monetary data is spam in the Bitcoin monetary network.
