My understanding is that we have 4mb max block size and if 1 transaction is 4mb they will have to pay massive fees because the bigger the transaction the more fees they have to pay. There is a huge cost to spam. I am not worried about this

Fees are set by price-per-byte, not by “big transaction = big fee.” When blocks aren’t full, the price floor is tiny, so a blob that fills an entire block can ride in for that same low rate—cheap for the sender, but every node must download and keep those extra megabytes forever.
