just becuz the mempool hasnt gone to 2019 levels does not mean that it wont it very likely will again and those who run v30 will be the reason why it can continue . its really not that hard to run knots+bip110 and signal for a clearer mempool . I really hope more node runners take the leap to securing the mission of bitcoin which is to be for monetary data not jpegs inscriptions and tokens

Almost all OP_RETURN transactions in recent years have been associated with the Runes protocol and were standard under the pre v30 rules. These transactions would even remain standard under BIP110 (which purports to reduce data embedding).
It will effect ordinals inscription which is a good thing imo and I run bip110
