This is because the demand for blockchain transactions in Ethereum have become too high causing the pricing out of small holders. This is the cost of decentralization similar to bitcoin. However, as a user if you want cheaper fees you should accept a more centralized design. Binance smartchain, Solana and others are available to use.
The transaction size didnt just increase even with the promise of the reduction in fee after the hardfork. Did they deceive us with the hardfork cause it is over a year? Am not happy if I compare the transaction fee with Binance, Tron and polygon. They can not continue to decieve us with the Dapp, Defi advantage and the community as well. At every price pump the fee gets more unbearable and some CEX have fixed fee as high as $50 for any size of amount Ethereum sent.
