It didn't. Ocean and DATUM is the answer for how you decentralize mining more and move toward allowing individual miners select their own block templates. It doesn't answer the question of: when choosing your own block template (as an individual miner or pool) how do you selectively choose what data is good or bad if all txn data looks the same? In a similar vain, the same question can be asked about relaying transactions and whether ultimately it is better to have a more restrictive default txn relay network with many more private ones and unpredictable blocks.

No, I didn't ask that question, nor am I seeking to answer it. In a complex argument it is always possible to derail a valid answer by changing the argument. You just did that. Your points are valid and you are raising them, but I am not, nor am I offering to answer them. None of the above invalidates my point, which is still 100% true and correct. Also, I sound like Jameson Lopp right now, which is disturbing me immensely ๐Ÿ˜‚
I didn't derail anything. The entire premise is based on the answer to the question I first asked. "How do you reduce spam on the blockchain?" You may not have an answer to that question and that's fine. But the position you hold (reduce spam) absolutely depends on an answer to that question, which in reality doesn't have a good answer.
