I've been looking at past threads and I'm confused on what Satoshi's position was on certain issues.

In August Satoshi seems confident that block size may be increased with no regards to size, eventually allowing micropayments as storage and bandwidth capacity improve over the years. Then in December, he hints that block size might remain small to allow as many users as possible. Did he then change his opinion on storage/bandwidth improvements in the future? I'm not sure what to make of this.

nope
in the december.2010 he says some bitcoiners will become tyrannical and want to keep blocks small with lame excuses of wanting it to be available on small devices wheree those types of lame excuse idiots were thinking holding back tx counts for those idiots to have bitcoin on a phone would mean more people would get to use bitcoin(sorry but no thats not how utility works)
back then there was not really a "lite wallet" so now in 2022 people trying to use the excuse of keep the full nodes small vi block limits and pruning has meaningless lame reasoning. because phone users can just use a lite wallet instead

the debates(s) were also about including more bloated data unrelated to bitcoin transfers. where people wanted to store library books and domain registries on the bitcoin blockchain. he was simply stating that other data does not need to be pumped into bitcoin blockchain and also that bitcoin can grow for bitcoin utility. while people have separate networks for the other data and find ways to cross communicate when purchasing domains without the need for the domain details to bloat up bitcoin

To be fair the word "lame" was added by you, not by Satoshi. Wink

Satoshi only said some users will be very insisting on keeping the block size small.
