Haha yeah I was fearful that the high fees were going to be more permanent. What happened anyway, did the ordinals people run out of money or did people realize it was a scam?

Low amount of transactions in the mempool.
Right now we have 195K unconfirmed transactions sitting on the mempool. The fees are low, but the mempool is not 'cleared'.
