Limiting data on witnesses makes no sense and would break many use cases of bitcoin including those that are “purely monetary”. I’m not appealing to authority as an opt out. I’m making the point that
(a) this is not as simple as “just get rid of things I don’t like” and
(b) you would need someone to implement the type of limit you describe and if everyone that could says that’s a bad/dangerous idea, that’s a problem.
The difference about the pandemic is that experts that disagreed were silenced so it wasn’t universal agreement.
Lift the cap on OP_RETURN and no more witness discount. If it’s not just about the discount then you’re really just asking to censor data you don’t like.
