Let me ask that differently: When people talk about 'spam', what are they generally referring to? Advertisements loke company emails, ordinals, all of the above?

To the most absolutist, any op_return is spam

To others, any messages unrelated to the transaction are spam

To others, "spam" just means nefarious actors intentionally using their funds to clog the network with whatever pointless shit they can come up with (sometimes meanwhile pretending there's a point)

Ty. So... these nefarious actors... would they more likely continue using their current mode of operation, or is it likely they would use the op_return after this change is made?

Probably both but it's mainly just that making the network better for their use case would probably encourage them overall

But it costs more to use op_return, right?

Not sure but it's definitely easier for users
