It's been discussed and the answers always :
1. Use lower fees if you don't need fast confirmation
2. Spend bitcoin at merchants which accept zero confirmation (as long as you put good amount of fees)
3. Adopt SegWit (i bet majority user still use legacy address)
4. Wait for LN network (or perhaps other 2nd layer solution)
5. Use altcoin/fiat if you don't want high fees
If more people adopt SegWit, help LN development and stop spam the mempool, i'm sure the problem will be reduced.
The impact of Segwit would have been felt by now and the testing and implementation of Lightening Network would have gone far but for the distractions occasioned by Segwit2x et la. Much as the high fees hurts, I have hope that there's going to be improvement in no distant time since the threat of a split is no longer as potent and and support for it have waned.1.

One can actually save cost by always settling for the lowest or normal fees set by merchants and have one of the guys here that accelerate transactions for free render you their service.
