Now everyone thinks that Stratum V2 will fix bitcoin mining censorship.
No it won't! It will only make *overt* censorship more *obvious*. If the censorship is already obvious, it doesn't change anything.

*covert. English hard.
Miners are free to chose which transactions to include in blocks. Anyone can run a mining node to ensure they don't get censored. Freedom ain't free.
That's not how pools work.
Either you mine solo or join a pool that follows the rules you like. If miners and by extension pools cannot select the transactions to include or not, the incentive structure falls apart. Including the moral component.
Obviously, I favor censorship resistant protocol changes or stratum v2 changes. But that's not the point
