Spam forms currently more than 40% of Bitcoin's transactions. Large OP_RETURNs just give more options to the spammers. It does not fix inscriptions or ordinals or any other form of spam. We need to limit arbitrary data on consensus level with BIP110 softfork. Run Bitcoin Knots to keep your mempools clean of spam. image https://thebitcoinportal.com/onchain/spam-analysis/overview

Filters are a quicker and more dynamic way for the nodes, including miners, to stop unwanted data. it's a tool of the whole network. If a fewminers disregard and decide that they will just mine those txs, then 1-the spammers incur in a cost, they loose the censorship resistance of the p2p network, it centralized service and pay a premium to the miners. 2-if this is considered harmful by a majority of the network, and miners are not following the gentlemans agreement, then the only choice is to force them by consensus, it's not by making their choices more widespread.
