The increase in the fee is due to reason because the miners became very less in the whole world so to overcome this type of load the fee increases by the user to user to gain the speed confirmation .
Second thing that directfauct are sending your payout with small charge is only reason that they pay also for your withdraw in small amount , so that full pressure to pay the fee will not go in the faucet or on the users .
Third thing here is that Currently safe ways to make payment without transaction fee is not much safe ( coinbase and xapo changes Thier rules and started to take charge for the transactions ) .
Here I will suggest you to use blockchain and change the fee of your transaction ( but not more less ) .
