Re: In 2013 someone paid to store all the lyrics to a song on the blockchain.
For those who aren't aware, that song is a famous MEME: "RickRoll".
Some "men of culture" usually swap links into the Youtube video of "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley instead of the intended/displayed URL.

Please don't use "men of culture"!
It also has a different meaning, every time I screen animes for my kid and my older nephew I check the comments and if there are some like "We are all men of culture", or "My cultured senses were tingling." it means it's not really an anime but pure hentai!
Almost ten years ago, someone paid to store song lyrics on the blockchain. The only explanation to this is that he or she was truly ahead of time.
Yeah, how about no!
People try to leave their marks on everything, there are hundreds of messages from stupid quotes, to prayers, to links, everything.
Satoshi did so with the first block, hundreds tried to copy him for fun.
Not everyone who did so was a "visionary" some did it out of boredom.

Once it is on the blockchain there is no way to get rid of it.

That's on the BSV chain, once it CSW finally goes to jail for all his scams that chain will die just like hundreds of shitcoins have died.
The blockchain is not something that magically keeps data alive, it's the same as a torrent, if there are enough seeds the file will be available forever if nobody shares it or in the blockchain case, there is no full node available the chain is dead and nobody can retrieve the data anymore.
