All those Core maintainers. All those eyes. Yet it took someone outside the club to call out what was happening. Changes were being made without community input. People raising questions were being silenced or banned. They won’t censor spam, but they’ll censor dissent.
This isn’t about OP_RETURN. It’s about behavior. About acting like Core is Bitcoin, instead of Bitcoin being the people. One person can slip in changes while everyone else stays quiet, and we’re told to trust the process. That’s not decentralization. That’s capture with better PR.
