The author of Bitcoin Standard supports funding developers to increase the cost of bitcoin spam

Saifedean Ammous, an economist and author of Bitcoin Standard, said he was willing to "put in some sats" to fund a full-time developer working to make sending Bitcoin spam more difficult and expensive.
Mr. Amus's comments were in response to discussions initiated by pseudonymous developer GrassFedBitcoin, which called on the Bitcoin core team to incorporate pull request 28408, which would make it easier for node operators to filter inscriptions on Bitcoin.
GrassFedBitcoin noted that the lack of an inscription filtering tool has led to unnecessary blockchain bloat and diminished Bitcoin's role as a monetary protocol. "People without running nodes want to propagate inscriptions," he wrote. He also noted that past increases in restrictions on Bitcoin OP_RETURN were based on false assumptions. He advocated for a configurable default policy that would prevent Bitcoin from being used to store JPEG images rather than monetary data.
