My curiosity was from another reason, I was just trying to figure out how many transactions that BIP110 guys saw as "violations" are actually there and how much space they are using, to figure out what the percentages are that freaked them out and labeled them as an attack on Bitcoin.
Do they claim the blockchain is polluted, and their own filters show only 2-3% of tx and maybe 5% of space will be "cleaned" after or is it more, much more, or even less than that?Now, in other non-news and not really news since it's a fact years old, Luke has lost his marbles, probably after grinding them and smoking them cause:

Mining blocks without signaling will then forfeit all block rewards!
66 blocks to go...
This is called narrative bias, and you would be surprised how many people fall for it. You have actually many forum "OGs" from the Wall Observer thread that have fallen for this OP_RETURN scam. The idea is to tell a very convincing story, about an impeding and catastrophic danger that you claim exists and then sell the solution for it to others. This is exactly how politicians weaponize the government's influence with the public, and actually this is a prefect example for the situation here because one of the most frequently used bullshit claims is CSAM to reduce the privacy of people and continue making steps toward and Orwellian future of complete surveillance. The irony is not lost here, because that is the exact same topic that the child obsessed freak luke-jr has decided to use to sell his "solution" (
a solution that doesn't even work for a problem that does not really exist).
But as you see, bullshit narratives work which is the main reason why they are used. When you combine a convincing story that sounds true to one who can't really verify if it is true or not with fearmongering, you usually get some success. It is actually the exact same method that Roger Ver used and you can say that he managed to get some success and impact some damage to Bitcoin. It is the exact same thing happening here. I like to bring this example because it shows that many users here never learn the proper way of thinking about these matters, regardless of how much time they have been here. If a forum "OG" who was not fooled by Ver then is fooled by luke now, then the proves that the narrative method works really well.
