Bitcoin isn't broken by filters. Filters are part of the maintenance of bitcoin as a censorship resistant monetary media. Spam is a misuse and abuse of the protocol, hence filters and other techniques are deployed to weed the garden.

This has always been the case, maybe you just don't understand the difference between a monetary medium and a general purpose distributed database.

The market for a general purpose distributed database is way lower than a monetary medium, but if abused and treated as a censorship resistant distributed database (like this season's shitcoin) then bitcoin becomes less useful as a monetary medium (because transaction fees increase and the memepool is polluted by shit that node runners don't want to relay). Less relaying nodes policing the network means number-not-go-up.

Obviously that is true because other blockchains have tried to be distributed databases and they always devalue against bitcoin.

Bitcoin's value is in part derived from its capacity to control spam, which in no way impacts it's censorship resistance.
