Yeah I hate when they call this “spamming the chain” it’s not spam they are paying a cost. Eventually they will run out of money.
This is why you can’t have free transactions. Then you will have a real DDOS problem with something that is trying to replace global money
And email spammers, call spammers, social media bot spam don't pay a cost? 🤔🤔

The cost they pay is marginal. Block space is scarce. That type of spam isn’t scarce. They don’t pay higher and higher fee to do that type of spam.

Exactly. You pay to get a place in the blockchain and following all the protocols suggested in the node. You do that and it's yours. Don't like it? Well, cry or yell. Besides these almost free transactions happening in other chains can't support hard money. It's shitcoin because it works like the USD: big blocks, few nodes supported by organizations and shareholders who keep running everything. It's free but the final cost is...you.

They're spamming the nodes with arbitrary data. Not a hard concept to grasp.

By paying a fee. It’s not free to put that data there
