Eth gas is super high some days ago but am happy it has been fixed now, Ethereum is a very large community with many people doing transactions on the network daily, so such cannot but happens.
Actually, after updating Constantinople, I, on the contrary, noticed a decrease in the price per transaction. for some reason it seemed to me that even the speed of transactions became much higher. Although I understand that each user of cryptocurrencies differently relates to ETH and have individual opinions about the activities of the platform.
