Only very very very very marginally. Ultimately if they don’t get mined this block that just means there’s more of them (and fewer normal transactions) for the next miner that isn’t filtering. Over the course of a few blocks it averages out. It only actually works if you have more miners blocking spam than the portion of spam transactions.

I don't think double the regular fee is marginal. And delaying non-standard transactions means that the fees for the non-standard transactions goes up. Again, creating more disincentive. I don't understand how that would "average out." Enough delayed non-standard transactions mean more competition for the same block space creating more fee pressure. image
