Blocksize limit does not prevent spam or reduce spam any more effective than having rules enforced by nodes.
Its prevents spam that fills up the disks of nodes, which is why it was implemented.
This has been covered many times. I get sick of seeing this same false BS feed by Blockstream folks.
I have no affiliations with that company. I think block should be bigger you might have missed that. I just think it should not be rushed.

Stupid ppl still argue that "we have lots of time." " blocksize limit is there because of spam"
The argument is not "we have time", but "better slow and good instead of rushed and broken".
Having artificially limit does not provide any meaningful prevention. Nodes should have better rules for that and there are already antispam filter rules you can use.
Stop with this nonsense b4 embarrassing yourself.
The only valid argument regarding bigger blocks is blocks relaying. Sadly we dont any useful discussion about it on this forum. You can search elsewhere for that. Its been discussed and being tested right now.
BIP101 is not a rush, its already conservative. The blocksize limit debate has been going on for more than 2 yrs now. Slowing down is just a dumb reflection of the topic.
