No one is blaming anyone, but it is strange for a manager to pretend that nothing happened on the bitcoin network and send the same fees as before. Nevertheless, such moments must be taken into account when forming payments to their participants. Indeed, the campaign lasts 174 weeks and pays weekly $2.5k-$3k to its members, but can't pay the $25 commission instead of $5. It's really weird.
The reason is not necessarily to save fees costs, but rather a use of a bad Software in estimating the fees or there is no option to edit fees. I remember in the past that their wallet did not support bc1 while most wallets was supporting those addresses.It is not limited to this service, but rather a lot of services and even some exchanges do not update their programs annually and therefore there is no choice to edit fees.

@Royse777
Can you please bump up the transaction fee? I think it will take ages for this transaction to get confirmed because fees go crazy sometimes.
Just did a CPFP, so hopefully, that would do the job without Royse777 bumping the fee: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/3a5978099ea12d161f7f3b9901010c9ee4959d142ce0842ff8a8b36048661117Can you please bump up the transaction fee?

I'll update this post when it gets a confirmation...

So it is not really weird.
