It is a known fact that Ethereum transaction fees are not cheap. While at times it may be frustrating, it didn't stop developers building new apps and platforms. These fees didn't stop people from participating in the network. The most annoying experience for me using Ethereum was paying the gas fees even when transactions failed.
Gas fees have kept me from blockchains built on Ethereum. It doesn't make sense to me at all. I read a tweet from someone who said it would cost them $100 in gas fees to conduct a $75 transaction. What?! How does that even begin to make sense? I'm glad there are so many other options (like Hive) that do not follow the Ethereum model.
