Yes I agree fees do serve as a filter, however the issue with saying this is that fees are also a filter to regular bitcoin transactions. I think it’s a bit naive to assume spam will get priced out and monetary transactions will not. If companies / spammers can find a way to make money from their spam, suddenly fees just become a business expense. Now you have spammers who are making money from their transactions competing with regular people just wanting to send a monetary transaction and not be making a profit. I wonder who the fees will filter out in this case…
