I know a lot of people still can't afford the fees on ERC20 so don't try to delve into it, other top platforms won't give you the same problem instead.
I don't seem to understand why most people still want to use Ethereum even when they can't afford the high gas fees, no point forcing anything eth gas fees won't be going below $1 anytime soon, so instead of complaining I would everyone to move to a better blockchain with low gas fees and fast tps, the likes of Near Protocol, elrond bsc etc, Near Protocol is even the cheapest of them all with a $0.01 per tx fees bsc is getting close to $1 already so I'm sticking to Near for now.
Ethereum has a slew of DeFi apps that are a big draw for many out of those people who wanna money which are easy to earn on the first sight but it's hard in fact. So they use those apps to add liquidity into pools, swap their tokens, lend and borrow etc.. All those operations require a gas to pay and move fees up. There may come a time when most of those apps move to the side of Ethereum rivals such as Cardano etc.. then the gas fee will inevitably go down.
