Lots of people on Twitter complaining about losing money.

One example: https://twitter.com/natealexnft/status/1781502281180975597

It's often said, "follow the money", and the miners are making huge amounts off this degeneracy.

If I were a miner with no morals, I would drum up excitement around the halving, convince people they want their jpeg in a block or a rare sat or whatever, and then watch the extra income roll in.

Can't say I like the miners' incentives here... it seems like there's no end to the fools lining up for these scams. Also not sure how this bodes for mining decentralisation long term, as this is a big pay day that will allow an unethical miner to expand and line up the next grift for even further expansion in the future.
