According to
https://bitcoinfees.21.co/, it needs 420 satoshis/byte to get fast confirmations.
Anyone know why the fees are going higher and higher?

This is unfair, the developers already developed a solution that they think will help alleviate this problem, but it has not gained traction with the miners, this is more an issue of politics and economic interests than an issue of technology.
