This strengthens my theory that it's one person behind it. If different people would be doing this many transactions, I'd expect a more even inflow without high peaks.
Who could it be? A BCH/BSV fanatic?

I vote for Vitalik Buterin.
Some kind of revenge for all the suffering the Ethereum network went through with NFTmania. He certainly has the money for this kind of venture
Is he a BTC whale?
I thought he only had ETH.
It's not about fees but since this thread turned into Ordinals discussion, I'll ask here:
1. Does anyone know what are the most popular Bitcoin Ordinals marketplace websites? Or where can I see how many Ordinals are traded daily? I know that I can check mempool and see transactions but I want to know besides creating new ordinals, how many of them are traded (bough and sold).
Sometimes these fee rate adjustments do not make sense at all, and what is even more funny is that the adjustments are done just a few minutes apart. Like, who does this kind of stupid thing?
I had the same question.
There is a possibility that it's a bot with bad configuration. I have seen way worse fees than what you shared. Mempool is full of transactions that had recommended fee and then fee was increased up to 100 times with multiple RBFs. That doesn't make sense to me. Imagine, recommended fee is 100 sat/vByte, then someone uses RBF and increases it up to 200 sat/vByte, then up to 1000 sat/vByte, then up to 5000 sat/vByte and so on, within minutes.
In the age of AI, this is totally unacceptable. Bots can and should be smarter than that...
