Inscriptions aren't shitcoins. I agree that 2nd layers are extremely important, but I do not agree that plebs will ever be priced out without them. If that were a believable scenario, then the focus should be more on handling "utxo bloat" - meaning making the bloat okay, instead of avoiding it. The reason is because 1 sat/vbyte is not the minimum tx fee. But I don't think these issues have anything yo do with my questions, and I don't want to be sidetracked.

Inscriptions in their current form can be filtered by matching against non-executed conditional script branch opcodes, that is OP_FALSE OP_IF. This is what Knots does in CScript::DatacarrierBytes Core proponents state that this is not good enough since, were this logic to be applied everywhere, inscription spammers would find another way to push their data.
