One sad day when all my friends get UNI alone I don't get it because I choose a centralized exchange to reduce transaction costs. 400UNI ~ $ 1200, which is more than the government subsidy in my country.
It doesn't pay to be cheap in the long run I use both centralized and uniswap, just because uniswap is much more convinient sometimes. And before DeFi craze, fee's on uniswap weren't at all higher than on exchanges
