its become too common that this congestion is blamed on miners and not the actual coders that allow/created the problem
its worth knowing that ASICS(miners) just hash a blockheader ID and have no influence of the transaction selection.
asics have no ram to store mempools of unconfirmed tx's nor hard drives to store all transactions, node software, code to validate transactions
its not miners job to transaction select

its pool managers that do transaction selection using code made by core that prioritise transaction by cores policy of fee estimates

I have previously been called a conspiracy theorist for blaming miners or mining related interests for the ordinals spam, since that opinion I've realized that I've overlooked the other interests potentially making a profit as well, however the difference between them and miners is that miners have the option to exclude ordinals for the betterment of the network if they wanted to do so.

read my post again then read yours
understand the difference between miners(asics) vs pool managers(transaction selectors and block template creators)

if you replaced the word miners with pool managers. your opinions make more sense
however even the pool managers COULD edit their node /algo of transaction selection. BUT most just use the defaults.. defaults made by core which core have changed over the years to favour a certain path, so it all leads back to core and their defaults and their policies
cores policies and code that the majority of the network use which make it a nuisance to change bitcoin code and get majority of node agreement without cores majority also being in sync

Wouldn’t that just make it worst? Whatever system that are creating these ordinals can just create an inscription wall at 50sat and if no mining pools confirms them, that means all future rate fee will always be more than 50sat.

All I know is that the community literally just handed over everyone’s private keys to the mining pools, now that they can control rate fees, which hashes gets confirmed, exclude certain wallets, black listed address, etc… I know it’s decentralized and we can all create our own nodes, but we are so far behind in game, we would have a better chance getting hit by lightning, after riding a train that just got derailed, while boarding after surviving a plane crash. Basically .00000001 chance of mining a block.

For all we know this ordinal system, could be using a pay it forward mechanism, which whatever ordinal transaction was mined from the previous mempool block, it must create the same ordinal transaction on the next mempool block 1. In this case, no one loses and $, as it’s a pay it forward system only when it drops to a certain rate fee. Then when the network gets congested again, every mining pools wins and go through this never ending cycle each time it gets to a certain rate fee threshold. We are screwed basically. At least clear out mempool first, because there hundreds of millions USD unconfirmed right now. At least balance the inputs/outputs before regulating what the rate fee will be moving forward. Talking to all you lobbyist that got this approved due to capitalism and no longer supporting decentralized finance.
