Is this topic still a shocking thing for anyone? It isnt something new to be surprised because if the entire network really clogs  up an  when that  happens then fees do rises but its not really that mandated or to do so
since we can choose up options according on our preference.If you do like for fast confirmation then you would pay more in terms of fees and yes we've been complaining this stuff every time when
the network traffic is high yet fees is on the same.Also in the link given above where Ver do make elaborations about transactions fees then he had been always claiming out this stuff since from the beginning
where mentioning Bitcoins flaws or problem and keep telling that BCH is better.
