I visited mempool.space to have a look on average Bitcoin transaction fees and holy shit, Fees are up to 600 sat/vByte when bitcoin's price is more than 42,000 USD. But that's not something that catch my attention, I checked block and recently, some minutes ago, someone sent transaction with 105,629 sat/vByte fees.

This is even worse, just found it while I am writing this post: https://mempool.space/tx/0cef268fff70c605dd91a00586d4edefc00ea47fc3c38500c67692aea8f6e9c9
Here is the worst: https://mempool.space/tx/8a199391385b767b3923f8005012d7ab7fce66e78bc9ca302db2e6bd6bf730ff
What the hell is going on? Who can afford so high fees? Fees are so high and people still pay for it, mempool is clogged and getting even more clogged. I thought I was not a poor guy but now I feel like the poorest person in the world
Does anyone know what's the reason behind these high fees? These are not ordinal transactions.
P.S. Bitcoin miners are getting higher reward from fees rather than from mining a block. Has this ever happened before?
