I would rather have the speed reduced to transactions then to have the miner's profiteering off all these transactions.
It is a good thing to have slower transactions so less of them are happening so the miners don't get shit for what they are trying to do and that is skimming off the froth of the of their lattes. Tongue

Miners need to be paid, otherwise Bitcoin will die. They don't need to get greedy however, because that will kill their business too, if it's too expensive to send coins. If they get too greedy, the market will be flooded with miners as well, and the payouts will be less. Miners have to act responsibly. They need to walk a fine line or it could spell doom for bitcoin, and that would be a shame.

I'm still surprised that BU has more support than segwit after all that has happened the last couple of weeks.
Can anyone explain why miners are apparently against segwit?

Its a massive change that totally rewrites how transactions are done.  With any massive change comes risk and loss of robustness.  It also requires wallets to be rewritten.  It doesn't really provide that much on chain scaling and makes it harder to make future improvements in this area.   It will hard if not impossible to undo later.   

Then seagwit is retarded. I am totally against fundementally changing the blockchain and wallets. Bitcoin has proven itself to work just the way it is. Why don't they just increase mining power, in PH, problem solved??

There haven't been news, things are still "tied" in discussion. There's no fork...

If you're looking for % of support, you can check coin.dance
