Yeah, the miners are getting huge rewards in the form of those high fees and they definitely should be loving to see those high fees, but the deserve to have those fees for their contribution in running of the Bitcoin network.

I'm happy to see this thread as we can discuss about the high fee issue here rather than creating new threads about high fees every here and there. I think OP has thought a better solution to bring all those fee related issues in a single thread. Let's discuss about the fees here from now on.
