Right now they are no longer compensating for the block reward halving, not even close.
Block time is all over the place but on average the fees are below 1 BTC , if it weren't for those huge breaks between blocks that drive up fees (last block had a 40-minute delay) we would probably have constantly touched 30sat/vb there are just 10vMB of fees above 30. But still not low enough!

Still 150 sats is way too high to be doing normal transactions comfortably (i.e. you are not a hedge fund or exchange doing transactions of 0.1BTC). I regret not doing an atomic swap for Lightning Network sats while I had the chance.
A few days back they were hovering around 45 sats to 60 sats which seems way high as in USD they were coming around $4 to $5 approximately. At the moment 215,077 TXs are unconfirmed which is not a good sign. Bitcoin network cannot handle such congestion and the worst part is that it started just after the halving. A small amount of transaction cannot be made even if the fee goes down to 150 sats as in USD it will be valued around $19 to $ 20 approximately. It is not a good sign and I think as in the past when the transaction fee went down it will again which will take time.

Here are some suggestions for people who think that Ordinals and Runes are perfectly legitimate on the BTC blockchain :
- Remove the "No junk mail" sticker from your letterbox.
- Automatically redirect the content of the spam folder in your incoming mail folder.
- Stop using the phone filtering options offered by your internet box.
Why ? Well, all those leaflets in your letterbox, all those emails in your mailbox and all those phone calls to sell you frozen foods and sofas are completely justified : they're not doing anything wrong, they're just using communications channels to send valid messages, just as you and I do. tHeY hAvE A rIgHt tO uSe ThOsE cHaNnElS tO sEnD vALiD mEsSaGeS jUst aS mUcH aS yOu AnD I dO.

Fees have come down to levels that are no longer so crazy, although 150/180 sats/vByte is too high. I wonder if the 1,000 sats/vByte craze can happen again or was it just because people wanted to put those spam images in halving blocks. I thought that this of the ordinals was a fad that would pass but they have just released a new protocol with these effects.

Of course, it can also be because somebody was too keen to do it, didn't know too well what's doing and now he/she may be crying for stupidly spending so much money.
PS. I don't care if it's a whale or not, it's still wasted money for a piece of useless movie clip nobody will care about in a year (or even a week).

Since the fee was so high but the transaction size was only 223.75 vB. I think the guy was trying to fill the whole block with that ordinal data but might have messed up and used a link of the ordinal instead of the image itself.
I think he might have been trying to do what happened on block 839855
You don't get art bro /s

Pardon me, but did the halving return the block reward back to where it was?
Nope, it has actually f*** up the counter at bitinfocharts

Don't know how that thing still shows 11%
Agreed, it is very headshaking. However, small minnows will never understand why whales would spend this much for an NFT. We can only be quite certain this is a presentation of their onchain status and to show everyone that they are rich.
I actually understand this well.
All those who spend these "absurd" amounts do so because they obtained BTC at a very low cost, or through mining in the first 4 years of BTC's existence. Or through purchases made in the same period of time. For those who earned all of this, and didn't sell it at the first ATH that occurred, today you could have hundreds of BTC that allows you to spend without much impact on your financial accounts.
Anyway, in all markets we always have extravagant ones, and Bitcoin is no exception.
nope and nope to both of you
majority of the case these published market rates of junk sales are FAKE
analogy
much like when you see ebay sell a 50pence piece for £500. that advert and subsequent sell is the scammer selling to itself to set a market rate for a junk item. they then con idiots into thinking its worth £500 so might get 1 idiot buying it but most people just pay £1.50 in a secondary market of people buying multiple 50pences for multiple £1.50 thinking they wont a jackpot they can resell for much higher.. and then the conned victims try advertising on ebay for £500 which no one buys.. then the scammer takes all those people that paid multiples of £1.50 for multiple 50p which total more then £500 'profit' and the scammer then does the same for a new coin like a 20pence
also because they scammed many multiples of £1.50 for a cost of £0.50 each they are 'in profit' of many multiples of £1 which they dont mind wasting many £1 on ebay advert fee (on chain tx fee) just to promote the next round of their scam, because to them its free money from little effort

No matter how much someone paid for this piece of shit to be on the block, it is certainly a waste of money
Obviously art connoisseurs will disagree, since there seems to be a market for both physical and digital art.
Who am I to argue with them...

Its not even the data for the mp4. Its just a link to it. The person could have spent much less to put it in that block.

Also, according to onchain analysis expert @ErgonBTC, this payer of a 6.7 BTC fee to inscribe in block 840,000 is a Thorchain user and an Ethereum whale.
