At the peak of the ordinals spikes I ran several feerate comparisons on filtered and unfiltered. I detected no statistically significant variation in feerates. All of them either were sufficient to get into the new block, or both standard and filtered estimates were wrong due to a sudden spike in demand.

Also fee estimation is always an *estimate* ?! I mean, there is no absolute prediction possible. Anyone can always start submitting mass transactions with high fees right away after you publish something. Seems such a collectivist idea, mempool predictions should be perfect. Like WTF even is that vibe man

The more deviance between the mempool and the actual blocks, the worse fee estimates become.
