I appreciate people like you who seek the truth. Andreas Antonopolous was one of the very best OG Bitcoiners and I have learned a lot from him. Unfortunately he changed and he replaced the truth with propaganda. It is really sad. Filtering spam is not censorship. Spam abuses, devalues and degrades Bitcoin. Bitcoin is Freedom Money, monetary network that transfers value, it transfer Bitcoin via Bitcoin monetary transactions. Bitcoin is not general purpose database or cloud storage. Big data is spam on Bitcoin. JPEGs, dickpics are spam on Bitcoin. Ordinals, Runes etc. are spam on Bitcoin. BIP 110 just limits big data abuse of Bitcoin. Thats it. And big data is spam on Bitcoin monetary network. Every byte on the Bitcoin blockchain is replicated on about 100 000 Bitcoin nodes. And we need even more nodes to be strongly decentralized.

We are all justifiably wary of anything that resembles censorship and core has exploited this quite effectively, duping a lot of reasonable bitcoiners in the process. Censorship is always carried out by a central authority. Claims that the actions of individuals expressing their own personal preferences is censorship flip the meaning of the word on its head.
