Can someone explain to me what is going on here?

https://mempool.space/tx/e571d064b6960b71801e7f3beb04cef36677d4e816ea1397f6f39da43c90749a

Noticed this massive transaction with only one input and 500 outputs of 500 sats each. Yes, 500 new UTXOs and ONLY 500 sats in each of them, so they are all dust.

Moreover, the total of these outputs was only 250k sats, but the fee paid was 7.2m sats!!

Is this some BRC20 nonsense, or something?

Really curious about this as well. Is this just a random dust/spam attack or is there some new, even dumber ordinals thing happening here that I'm not aware of?

Entropy? In the end everything turns to dust.

Yes, but what you are talking about is organic, as a result of people who don't know better failing to manage their UTXOs. The above constitutes the intentional acceleration of this process via bloating the UTXO set with thousands and thousands of dust UTXOs a day, because they have JPEGs or shitcoin tokens attached to them.

Try to be grateful for their generous donation.

If Bitcoin can't handle people being retarded with their UTxOs, it doesn't deserve to exist.

Oh, I get that. More Bitcoin that can't be spent just means it is more scarce. It ultimately doesn't hurt Bitcoin.
