Well, brother, this is not the fact transaction can cost as much as 45$ for now but I remember those days when I was paying 0.00015ETH per ERC20 token transaction. oh! what good days those were ETH= 250$ and BTC arround= 7800$ to 9000$ now I can't even think of it.
Obviously the old users are not complaining much. I got most of my ETH in 2018 (from various bounty campaigns), and I am not gong ballistic over the transaction fee. But for the new users who have just started with their bounty campaigns, this is a serious burden. Many of the bounty campaigns don't pay. Even those which make the payment, provides only $20 or $30 per participant. And in case the gas fee is very high, the participant need to spend almost all of his reward in moving the bounty tokens to the exchanges. In the end, he will be left with nothing. So I would say that the high fee levels are disproportionately having a negative impact on the noobs.
Absolutely you are correct sir, this was a real burden for the newbies, in fact, even the old members here in the forum are going crazy about this transactions charge. But others still hoping the fee will get lower in the future. But there are other options for us to avoid this high fee actually, just try to make research on this thing anyway.
