Do Filters Work?

What do you define as spam?
Non-Bitcoin transactions, non-monetary transactions. JPEGs are spam on Bitcoin Monetary network. Other big data files and blobs as well. Bitcoin Knots allows 42 Bytes for hashes, which is acceptable.
Knots is configurable and makes it up to the user which is the main principle to adhere to.
Soo does that mean the OP_return in the genesis block considered spam? 
No, that is part of those 42 Bytes (the default setting) for hashes, which is acceptable and which continues the Satoshi legacy.
Well said. There is an element of perfect solution fallacy in the counter filter narrative.
No puedo subtitular todos tus videos 😂
Thank you Jimmy 🫡
So simple.
Good approach, good point to consider nuances, but you didn't go deep enough. Consider the cost of node runners as well. Consider opportunity cost as well
E.g.: if there is a widespread filter for OpReturn, there is a cost to bypass that. But there is also an opportunity cost of using another method, that is a more convoluted (higher cost) but not filtered (less cost), such as embedding data in fake output keys (net less cost). But this solution has a higher cost for the node runners (in the form of non-prunable fake UTXO).
The lock on the door analogy is quite good, but how about this analogy: in some places people deliberately leave their cars window open when they know there is not much to steal from the car: they leave the car open not to _facilitate_ burglary, on the contrary, to _reduce_ the damage due to burglary (a broken window is costly to fix). I view leaving the filters open as a way to reduce the cost of other, more damaging actions.
I wonder if core devs consider Jimmy to be “not technical enough” to opine on the issue of filters 🤭
The only thing you forgot to say in this video
Run Knots and obliterate shitcoin core.
Run Bitcoin Knots to keep Bitcoin free of spam.
Thanks Jimmy for talking about the important stuff!
Excellent video, with just what I want. Considered reasoning on the tradeoffs at the heart of this.

Bitcoin Knots and the filters it has work. Here is why:

Jimmy is trying to calm the situation to let the rationality flow.
Run Knots.
People need to open their eyes. Truth matters.
