Using my BlockStatsExplorer, you can see that the number transactions per block with op_return >= 80 bytes increased around block height 916000, i.e. a couple of weeks at least before v30 was released, now a typical block has 20 of them But it spiked to 60 such txs per block for periods about four or five months ago, block height ~900000. Those evil spammers must have got in a time machine to go back and use Core v30 back then. 😀 My BlockStatsExplorer is hosted here: https://satsandsports.github.io/blockstats-explorer/www/index.html

Here is two years of data showing the op_return_bytes per block (moving average of 2016 blocks, in order to smooth out the data) in orange, and the purple line is the data I mentioned in the parent comment. There seem to have been periods where the average per block was around 30KB. I wonder if this will change

A few technical notes on this tool: - it's entirely client side, using WASM to do some other the heavy lifting - Lots of statistics availble, including fee rates - You can apply moving averages to smooth out the data (calculated in your browser via WASM, so I don't need to pay for any hosting to do the calculations)
