You would think, but not so.
Bitfury still fill blocks with low fee spam from addy 3QQB6AWxaga6wTs6Xwq8FYppgrGinGu15f before higher fee paying real tx's.
See for example https://blockchain.info/block-index/1477998
Addy https://blockchain.info/address/3QQB6AWxaga6wTs6Xwq8FYppgrGinGu15f has sent 140238tx's, all spam, nearly all relayed by Bitfury.
3QQB6AWxaga6wTs6Xwq8FYppgrGinGu15f paying to 3QQB6AWxaga6wTs6Xwq8FYppgrGinGu15f - Bitfury did the spamming?
That's interesting, can we confirm that by far Bitfury is the only pool picking these up?
As if Bitfury wants to collect their spam fee back.
Note that Bitfury and Blockstream share the same investors, some interesting links:

I was thinking that Bitfury are spamming on purpose. Why else is the output and input address the same and collected by Bitfury?
What i do not understand is that why would they do that,why are they spamming with invalid transactions and what is the motivation for them to do that,if they want to showcase that the bitcoin is really slow then they will be loosing the value of coins they are holding,do they want to push the core team and create some sort of emergency by frustrating normal users.
