I highly recommend you to go back and study Bitcoin.
- It's not censorship.
- Ordinals are not Bitcoin. They are a separate protocol, external to Bitcoin, to interpret certain bytes in Bitcoin tx.
- Bitcoin is not designed for arbitrary data storage and disincentives it through fees and spam filters. People that want arbitrary data storage should move to a sidechain or smth, iso spamming the monetary base layer. Else, why not store all the data in the world on Bitcoin ? This will surely make it the most valuable network ever! Said no bitcoiner ever.
- Bitcoin already has many spam filters in place but they have not been updated since taproot. If these are censorship, then Bitcoin is already censoring tx now. There is no freedom to do whatever you want on Bitcoin.
- Paying the fee doesn't make smth not spam. If fees are not enough, even Satoshi said there could be other means to discourage spam.
- Community consensus actually decides on the protocol (changes).
