That has nothing to do with how high or low fees are. Fees go up or down depending on network demand. But what actually more cost-efficient miners mean during the current period of "low profitability" in Bitcoin mining is, it will be harder for the less-efficient miners to profit or to break-even. They will either need to turn off their mining farms or migrate to a region where they could mine using cheaper electricity.
humans seem to be willing to take alot of abuse and then more on top of that. just so they can make a few bucks. that's going to be miners oneday...

everyone is going to be shitting on them and they will be barely breaking even. what a wonderful world.
1. hobby miners dont move home just to be "miner profitable" when the underlying bitcoin costs raise and the market lowers to where the market is down at the value support testing the new bottom.. those unprofitable miners then become market buyers as its cheaper to buy coin than buy electric to mine it
