And here's the long-term chart, only about three and a half years because that's all the data they bothered to save. Before then, the mempool was basically empty most of the time.

You can see the enormous spikes in May 2017 and late 2017 through early 2018. The May 2017 spike was because Bitcoin took off from about $1500 on the way up to $4000. The late year spike was every head-in-the-sand FOMO retard suddenly hearing about the existence of some thing called "cryptocurrency" and dogpiling in, in conjunction with Jihan/Bitmain trying to fuck everyone over with spam transactions.

Those few months were literally the only times when there was a problem. With SegWit cutting transaction sizes by 60% we can handle 250% of the transactions per block that we could in mid-2017 -- as long as Bitmain isn't mining empty blocks, which they did regularly in that period just to give an even bigger fuck-you to the community. The newer methods should double it again, from what I've read. And that's not even counting LN, which can move most stuff off-chain until it's finalized.
