"many of the idiotic 'data storage' things are either intentionally or inadvertently exploiting the fact that behaving abusively about public resources gets them a ton of free attention."
"Fundamentally Bitcoin has already 'solved' the abusive resource use by limiting the total resource usage. I'll be the first to agree that the solution is far from perfect, but the alternative of chasing down the abuse, judging it, blocking it, etc. can easily be much worse and doubly so when it gives them a lot of free press and validation as "important enough to censor" -- a benefit that some parties might even be intentionally behaving abusively to secure."

I agree with you but not fixing the bug that's letting them sabotage Bitcoin is affecting Bitcoin really bad. Back when this first started I used to be like that but then I realised running a node back then used to take way less time to synchronise than today when it can take almost a month. These people know what they are doing they want want to break bitcoin and Bitcoin devs wanting to ease it to help them do more is same as participating in the vandalism.
