I've been watching the mempool dwindle lately and it looks great as it's now under a gig as per mempool dot space!  Perhaps its the filters being properly applied on the node runners using their filters (permitbaremultisig equals 0 datacarriersize equals 0) or perhaps the ordinals / inscriptions teams have lost their appetite or been persuaded for other reasons to scale back.  Regardless however I'm noticing another trend with the mempool dot space goggles lately.  While the amount of inscriptions has seemingly dwindled based on these goggles, the amount of taproot non inscriptions transactions has drastically increased.  Perhaps they've found a way around the goggles of mempool dot space to use taproot for transmitting these images?  The reason I ponder this is that during the ordinals / inscriptions peak, almost every single taproot transaction in the mempool was an inscriptions transaction(in fact I couldn't even see one that wasn't) yet now it's seemingly half or less the volume of taproot transactions are inscriptions.  I wonder what would have changed over these last few weeks to have such a profound impact on the taproot transactions.  Anyway I wanted to put it out there to everyone to see if they too had noticed this change and if anyone knows what all these recent taproot transactions of late are as they seemed nonexistent a few weeks ago during the inscriptions / ordinals peak.

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Have a great weekend fellow Bitcoiners!
