My stance falls somewhere between the two extremes. I don't see it as an attack, but it is a tremendously wasteful and inefficient way to do things. I certainly wouldn't encourage the use of this exploit when there are far more suitable ways to implement it.
It's about finding the right medium for a given task. Much like how a toddler's crayon doodles can definitely go on the fridge, but displaying them in a major art gallery wouldn't be appropriate.
And I see it more as a civil war.
Meanwhile, while we are wasting time arguing about what to do about Ordinals, other problems surrounding Bitcoin (which I think almost everyone here on this thread is aware about) has are not getting any solutions. So maybe, it is better to redirect our word power into fighting those things.
dont worry about doomad.. he has his own motivations
through out the past he calls making alot of NORMAL bitcoin transactions a spam attack. but those wasting space with dead memes of no value spamming he doesnt call it an attack, he adores their actions. purely because he hates bitcoin being a payment system, he wants his middle men required service network to be a payment network.. and its these dead valueless memes that are a thing that helps him annoy bitcoiners to not want to use bitcoin as much. these valueles dead memes helps the fees rise so he can push his adverts about other systems he prefers people to use. he does not want this stuff to stop. he has been clear about this in his topic many times
he in this very topic has loved the job they do to annoy people
he cant now pretend to change his mind and pretend he is against it because even now he doesnt want to call it an attack even though he gets very vocal when people make simple tx enmasse as an attack..
he is just a sponsored hypocrit
