This is a troll who's been posting that screenshot all over the place like it's some kind of gotcha.

It was part of a good back-and-forth I had with (IMO), you can read that back here if you're interested:
Ok, so now you’re inferring why other people may or may not want run nodes, which is a largely unfalsifiable claim— though I would point out that the data we have available suggests that users don’t mind: node count has risen in recent years despite all the Inscriptions nonsense.

We can speak for ourselves, however.

For me it makes no difference whether it’s 1MB of monetary data or 1MB of dickbutts. My node operates the same from my perspective. (Even slightly better if it’s dickbutts, but we can leave that aside for now.)

Does it make a difference to you?
