 Bitcoin was not designed to store arbitrary data, that is a plain and simple fact. Measures were taken to avoid spam of random data on the chain. However, if fees cannot sufficiently counter a spam attack, other actions might be required. If this situation continues for a year, you'll see opinions on this changing quite fast.

Are you comfortable explaining to people in need that they can no longer rely on Bitcoin as they should understand it's more important that degens can post butt jpegs on chain? That they're ignorant and should have anticipated this as Bitcoin is not only money but also a costly database for storing random data?

Spam filtering is a normal procedure in many technologies, it's dishonest to compare such a thing with government censorship. Everyone will know gov censorship when it happens.

If nostr relays would be filtering token airdrop spam, would you call that "censorship"? Because that's exactly the same thing. So I guess Nostr is not uncensorable? Please expand on this point.
