Important thing to consider specially by those who say "this will go away".
Even if the attack were to be stopped today and the fees drop down to 1, the vulnerability that this attack is exploiting is not going to go away. Tomorrow this attack could start again or the day after tomorrow a new form of attack could exploit the same vulnerability to perform a new form of attack.

The exploit must be fixed/removed to solve this for good.

This. I said it back in February, that Ordinals is just the beginning, and the problem will remain since they already demonstrated it, even if they stop, others will tryto abuse it. So it pointless to name the individual spammers, but close the vulnerability or at least mitigate it.
