Having a network of nodes that connect to each other to share extra data is completely different than having a centrally hosted url with a picture that can be arbitrarily changed

Agreed, but on the continuum of NFT insanity I think the inscribors are gonna prefer their monkey jpegs truly on the bitcoin block chain vs just a hash pointing to another network.
But it can literally be a plugin for a bitcoin node, so it is basically a parallel system on all of the same infrastructure.
As things are they will get priced out eventually anyway, so if someone builds some more efficient alternative & maybe even takes advantage of liquid or something too then the people jamming up the network can be clearly made to look like the retards they are.
Priced out is in the private key holder. I get your point, but do not expect it to be a popular alternative. The novelty of inscriptions is at least in part because they are on bitcoin, directly.
This was supposed to say "priced out is in the eye of the key holder." A play on "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
