If spam filtering didn’t work, why would Ben put this comment on his OP_RETURN bot:

“// if this is non-standard, double the fee rate and make sure it's at least 5 sats/vbyte
// we double the fee rate to make sure it gets in since there is only a few pools that will accept it
// otherwise, add 4 sats/vbyte, just to make sure it gets in”

Spam filters are deterrent, and doubling the fee is a sign of it working

What does into the mined chain is different than what I want to relay as a node runner.
