I agree that it's adding more useless bloat. I agree that those memes, dick pics, and fart sounds should not be in the Bitcoin blockchain. I agree that Ordinals can be used as another attack vector. BUT what I can't agree with are people saying, "Ordinals is an attack/exploit".

if it can be used as an attack vector and people are using it that way then that pretty much means it is an attack/exploit. so i'm not sure what distinction you trying to make.

Be reminded that Ordinals, from the Bitcoin protocol's viewpoint, are valid transactions that follow the consensus rules.

so was the inflation bug but that needed to be fixed otherwise bitcoin would have been destroyed. sometimes consensus rules have to be fixed to prevent unintended things from happening. Lips sealed

IMO it's not good comparison when inflation bug is caused by implementation bug on Bitcoin full node software[1]. Meanwhile those who write BIP 342 intentionally remove limit which exist on previous type of Bitcoin script[2].
