That's just a matter of twisting the narrative: they loved the halving block, so why not start their own testnet Ordinal BS from the same hash as the halving block?

What would it matter if nobody paid attention? They're attention seekers. They don't care to test or learn. They just want to throw it on your face, so you can be the next fool.

All true. But their victims aren't experienced Bitcoin users. If they'd know what they're doing, they wouldn't be doing it.

By the way: when testnet4 ASIC miners will start reorging CPU-mined blocks, it will have the same effect.

Can we call this a 99.9999% attack on CPU-miners?

There are no victims there are juts people who want free money and think that this is a way to get it.
Or they know better then everyone else and their new best friend they found on the internet is going to get it for them.

If someone pulled out a gun or a knife or threatened them in some way to buy them then they are victims.
These are just suckers / idiots getting what they deserve.

Perhaps a bit harsh, but things like this are not any different then the people selling 'gold as the best investment' and then selling you gold at 15% above what you can get it for just about anyplace else.
