He is 100% on point in this video. This is how bitcoin network works and should work.
Market decides and fees make that transparent.
Andreas is free to express his anything goes preference by configuring the datacarriersize option on his nodes, or run v30, and I'll configure mine the way I want. That is autonomy.

Good luck. Bitcoin is will tell.
