You are wrong because fees are still $0.4-$0.5
and if you ended up paying anything more than that, it means your transaction had a lot of outputs to spend and that is what caused your transaction size to grow 2 or 3 times in size compared to a normal 220 byte transaction and you as a result ended up paying 2 or 3 times more fee than normal fee.
I am not saying fees have not gone up. I am more pissed off about higher fees as the next guy but it is not $1.

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/Which fee should I use?
The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 200 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 45,200 satoshis (0.75 USD).
Where did you get the "because fees are still $0.4-$0.5"?
I got a transaction fee of $3.26 a few days ago. But it has a lot of outputs.
I want to send $7.56 in bitcoin but with this fee i don't send bitcoin.
