We only relay spam if it gets into a block. Making it harder for bullshit to get into a block reduces the amount of bullshit people will create. Ocean & Datum are already increasing miner revenue (because major pool operators are clearly corrupt) while allowing individual miners to filter garbage too. The truth is that all the spam revenue was already flowing to a small few & being kept from small mining participants. Datum does more to decentralize mining than any sort of filter removal possibly could. The arguments for filter removal just make no sense. It truly seems like there is some hidden motivation.

That's not an argument. During the height of the spam craze people saw that giant spam txns with huge fees were not being distributed to pool participants as they should have been. Ocean showed that even very early on participants were earning more in spite of filters. Datum allows miners to process whatever txns they want. So it dramatically decentralizes mining & takes power away from pool operators. And it does appear to be the case that legacy pools are corrupt (which really shouldn't be a surprise since more than half of them are Ant-main anyway).
