Let me clarify first, I don't have any technical knowledge, but as per my research, I got some information regarding etherum's high fees. First, it depends on the demands of users and how much users are sending or transferring funds through the Ethereum network. Actually, because of the ethereum network, lots of new projects are being built on the networks and they are transferring through the network.
Well, you are right, heavy traffic may cause gas fee increase but we are in this situation for many years which is not normal anymore or this really be the thing now? Mr. Vitalik didn't take action to lower the fees, it seems like he also preferred for this situation to turn like this. And I really think that we don't need to out this hard, in fact, we have other options like BSC and Polygon platforms where we can save some fees. As I believe that there is no way to help it down coz even the developers do nothing about this.
It has been a long-standing problem related to the high ETH gas fee,
and we really can't do anything if the ETH development team doesn't fix it right away.
But I have the same suspicion as you, because Vitalik Buterin should have known about it,
but impressed the ETH development team did not fix it seriously.
It seems that Vitalik Buterin wants a condition where the gas fee is very high.
Due to the fact that the popularity of ETH has not been greatly affected by the high gas fees, there are still a lot of people who continue to use the ETH network.
Finally, what we can do is switch to using other platforms that offer lower costs than ETH.
So don't stress too much about this problem, because now there are many other options that we can use,
I am also now starting to reduce using the ETH network and starting to switch to using BSC which has proven to be cheaper.
