It has come back a bit recently but I think the worst of it is over. That's the thing about degens: they get bored quickly and move on from one things to the next. After Ordinals/BRC-20, it was Doginals/DRC-20, then Ethscriptions (bring it full circle, writing NFTs in ETH tx data rather than via smart contracts, lol).

my apologies to everyone if I didn't make this point sufficiently clear upthread...

...but I'm gonna make it here again.

this whole phenomenon is based on the NEWNEWNEW scam, most "altcoin" stuff is, and we all know it already. in fact, most people trading newly issued stuff are actually engaging in a scammy blinking contest: probably most players in the market activity know they're playing the "hold my bag" game

and then it all starts again next week with the "new" NEWNEWNEW: same game, "!!new and exciting tech!!" **yawn**

and the major irony for me is the same as it was with most of these Bitcoin protocol/relay policy/ecosystem debates; it's possible to make the whole thing worse than it really is, simply by talking about it more than it deserves

No one could censor them because that would be against Bitcoin's ethos and they are not breaking any rules, so the best way to deal with it is - not talking about it? Hahaha. It's like the ostrich's head in the sand.

What's ironic is there's actually no solution. We merely need to accept that they're using Bitcoin in ways that we don't like. We can call it spam, an attack, or an exploit, but it will just be a matter of personal opinion.
