How is it not meaningful? You make it harder to easily embed unwanted content. Saying it isn't meaningful is like saying putting locks on your house isn't meaningful because someone could still get in if they just try harder.

I've heard this talking point before, which is the whole thing that saddens me, I'm not against people wanting to run knots, but stupid repition of talking points like these make it seem like a psyop.

Anyways to reply, It's more like putting a lock on an open door, plus it corrupts incentives OP_RETURN is meant for data we can safely ignore doing stupid stuff like this incentives jpeggers to bloat the UTXO set, which is much worse.

OK I see there's a tradeoff between bloating the UTXO set with these tiny stitched together transactions vs just letting them put more data into OP_RETURN, which can be pruned. I haven't listened/read much so I'm kind of forming my understanding now.
