Matt, do you view ordinals as a type of Ddos on bitcoin? What should less technical node runners be doing?

nope, this is why transaction fees exist

The inscribers will eventually run out of money.. Bitcoin lives on.
While not everything that happens to bitcoin is good for bitcoin, that doesn't necessarily mean non-good things are existentially threatening. Ordinals are just an obscene lifestyle practiced by deviants who make profligate use of blockspace. They are annoying and should be shunned for their own good.
пусть будут.) я смогу фото свое сохранить на тысячи лет!)))
I’m of mixed opinion. I don’t want to see a fork but am concerned that large increases in non financial block space could weaken the security and increase fees. If ordinals exploded this could be a significant problem
If ordinals exploded, we would certainly see fees rise, but all that means is a temporary transition of wealth from morons to miners. The majority of people playing in the NFT litter box get phenomenally, thoroughly cornholed -- there is no legitimate, economically productive activity in there, and that sort of environment eventually leads to money fleeing to smarter, stronger hands.
It would cost far too much to be worthwhile and would just earn the miners lots of fees.
