Knots reduces the negative impact of spam on node runners by treating spam as objectively different from regular txs Core treats spam identically to regular txs, for subjective reasons (some of its devs think spam is good) Be objective. Consider Knots. https://supertestnet.github.io/spam_tester/

Has anyone made a website that displays a side-by-side live comparison of a default Knots mempool and a default Core mempool? It would be cool to have that so I can point to it as empirical evidence against the claims of those who shout that the filters make no difference

If you use Core v29 or v30, they bring new costs: the costs of helping relay and store spam, mostly for the sake of scams, and also to help various brc20 altcoins compete with bitcoin. These costs include up to $11.40 per year in bandwidth. Consider running Knots to save money. https://x.com/ProofOfCash/status/1982903129323778295
