IMHO, Like you, I was also annoyed with these expensive gas fees on the Ethereum network, and in my perspective, it was a form of Greediness because I believe that those Ethereum developers must do something about it, instead, they are condoning it and even proudly saying that Ethereum now a deflationary token by burning it from the portion of the collected gas fees, correct me if Im wrong but I believe Ethereum today is not the same Ethereum that I was using before.
