I’m old enough in bitcoin years to remember people being mad at nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk for spamming the chain with non-financial data inclusion…people were really against prayer, out of proportion to the minimal resource consumption of the way he embedded the data (compared to inscriptions hack, for example).
I’m not so concerned about op_return when the real problem lies elsewhere. The real question is whether or not the real problem can be fixed and at what cost. This is a technical question that requires plebs to learn a great deal before forming opinions, something few are prone to do…but many form firm opinions without understanding based on their feelings of what bitcoin is or should be.
