Common narratives around spam
A common argument presented by inscription supporters is that Satoshi started the trends of injecting data in the timechain with the Genesis block message. This argument is simply wrong since Satoshi did not subvert (2nd characteristic of spam) the protocol to "inscribe" data. As a matter of fact, he hardcoded the short text (along with the rest of the block) in the source code of the computer program (for the purpose of authentication of the start-date of the chain; had the chain started at another day then the text would have been a copy of a different headline of a newspaper). The text is placed in a small field that allows only a miner to input up to 100 bytes of arbitrary data in a block they find. It's always been part of Bitcoin and didn't introduce any wastefulness.More information here.
