This. Ordinals are spam, and I personally would prefer if they didn't exist. The high fee situation we find ourselves in is less than ideal, and I personally would prefer if fees were lower. However, I will suffer ordinals and I will pay higher fees if this is the price to keep bitcoin as freedom money and stop a small group of people censoring transactions they do not agree with. Bitcoin as a concept is far more important than the personal inconvenience of higher fees.
that's the attitude we need more of. for people to stop complaining and support the network if they believe in bitcoin. but i think for alot of people maybe even myself to some degree the loyalty ends where the buck begins. if it costs more than i like i get cold feet about supporting the network. that's a bad bitcoiner!

If the fees are becoming prohibitive for normal people to use bitcoin, then we need to work on scaling, not on censorship.
you've mentioned scaling a few times and i'm curious what type of scaling you have in mind exactly. i'm all for making bitcoin scale so it can have bigger thouroughput.
remember doomad and oeleo do not support bitcoin scaling.. they support offramping to other subnetworks where middlemen can syphon routing fee's for un settled payments(insecure non-immutible) they love high bitcoin fee's as it promotes their favoured subnetwork as "the solution"..
