Any reason for the Ethereum gas price being so high lately?

Here are the posible reasons base on experienced and what I know

1. I think it is because of you amount that you want to transact

Ok I get that explanation but why such a high traffic then?
It's been going on for weeks now.

2. It is because if the traffic many people thousands, billions of peoplw trade, sell and buy exchange and transfer it from time to time.

It is not just you who do a transaction

Lets say

We have 2 lanes in the cyber space

Line 1

Fee is 1USD

And you have to fall in line for that transfer

But for line 2 it is 2USD

And you have to fall in line too BUT it is much more faster than the fee of line one

In short the one who pays higher gets a transfer faster but not in one click because like I said many people do a transaction from time to time.
