You can’t stop it. That’s the point. There’s quite literally an infinite number of ways to do it, and your filters aren’t even remotely effective. It’s useless code bloat that actually HARMS bitcoin.

Yes. Email and texts. Why? Because there’s no cost. The spammers don’t face a financial disincentive.
Bitcoin doesn’t work like that because block space is scarce.

There’s no such thing as spam on bitcoin, if it’s a valid transaction and pays a market-clearing rate for inclusion into a block.
