its only scarce because your boyfriend gmaxwell told his underlings to hold scaling back
fee's are on the increase because your boyfriend gmaxwell took away reactive fee's estimation and implemented average fee estimation (mathematically proven to increase even in low demand)
now in version 0.14 he is even removing priority formulae.. and not even bothering to replace it with a priority mechanism that actually does a better job at reducing spam or punishing the obvious repeat spammers/bloaters while still allowing access to rational, normal transaction flow.

you and gmaxwells mindset is not about code rules to fix bitcoin issues. but playing crappy banker economics games of holding back supply to create demand for commercial services.

if you think bitcoin is about out pricing each other until only a few can actually use bitcoin then you have been spooned by your boyfriend too much.

maybe its time you just jump into gmaxwells bed full time over at the monero hotel and stop popping by bitcoin. because we can see your not actually interested in staying with bitcoin
