Any explanations why hash rate keeps going up?
I'm glad it does, but it makes no sense to me. Given the price of btc and the fees, It seems like it must be getting really hard to be profitable, right? Are these miners all maxis believing in the future of Bitcoin willing to take losses now?

I suspect a lot of the energy and hardware deals were made well in advance and many of them have no choice but to mine at a loss to offset costs. Otherwise I agree, hard to make sense of
