Taking and making profit is one thing but the too high fees is daylight robbery. We all thought Bitcoin would have some transparency and help change people's lives, but miners and whales should stop being TOO greedy as this will put many newcomer off, so in the end they will lose out if the price of Bitcoin doesn't rise as it should.
One way or another, it was very clear from the beginning that fees would increase throughout the years -- that's why it doesn't come as a surprise to me. The only thing that did somewhat surprise me, is the way how we have reached the current hight of tx fees. I remember people were freaking out when there were 50k unconfirmed transactions, and then 100k, and then 150k, and now 200k. What's next 300k? 400k? It's insane how this spam continues to grow in size.
