People need to refrain from small transactions at this point, as the status seen on ERC20 is still congested, so paying too high a gas fee is an arbitrary incident. I used to accept $20 transaction fee for 1 transaction on ERC20 many times, please consider, wait for the time to arrange the next updates hope the network will be much faster and cheaper.
It seems that the gas fee is very difficult to decrease, even if the waiting transaction is not busy, it will happen when and whether the reduction will be significant, it seems not at all. I agree with you friends, for those who want to make small transactions it is better to refrain from first, but until when it has to do that. the fear is that the coin that wants to be transacted is no longer valid and that often happens.
This will create many opportunities for people to look for other alternatives so they can avoid the very high gas fees. and it is not impossible that if ethereum does not change, many would want to be alternatives because of this.
