Hope they'll run out of money soon.
From a technical viewpoint, all these tiny 540 sat tx most definitely look like spam (clear pattern, at dust limit, bloating the system), and not like genuine financial tx with random amounts. They're not financial tx but serve another purpose. As if everyone would start sending hundreds of 0.01 usd wires around, just to store their tx description in the bank's system.

not really. they're consensus valid and pay their fees. Are we going to start judging the validity of other people's transactions? Who gets to maintain the list of what's allowed?
