Believe me, these 3.5 years feel like it has been an eternity. We spend the first 1.5 years arguing what is spam, is it bad and do filters work. Some people still haven’t received the message. The asymmetry of this attack is so bad that I fell into despair at some point in 2024. It was only thanks to the supper blatant change of the op return defaults when people really started to notice and act. In fact if they hadn’t done this, we would probably never be anywhere close to a resolution of this debate.
