inscriptions aren’t going away. Without a change in incentives people will continue using the cheapest option. My opinion shift is coming from low adoption of op_return filters, the past couple of years. Without larger adoption (mainly by miners) individuals running knots wont make a difference other than delaying block relay and slowing their own nodes. 

Bloat may not be a problem now but in future years, I worry the requirements to sync a full node will increase and deter new node runners.

I don’t agree with or like inscriptions but knots isn’t going to stop them.

Sunday Survey: What node software are you running now?

interesting, what makes you think that adding more room for spam in op_return will stop them from using the cheaper witness data? 

btw, the "bloat" is currently 11gb. so not a big deal in my opinion as people start to switch from 1tb harddrive to 2tb for storage.
