Users treat exuberant fees as a defacto liveness failure. To those users Ethereum was down for all of 2021. Ethereum fees were so bad that 99.5% reliability but guaranteed low cost was better, and thats how solana managed to get pmf.

As a user, the difference between my Uber app not working at all and the Uber ride being painfully expensive is extremely relevant (especially in an emergency).

That’s great! That’s why reliability is also a focus. Solana had 100% uptime for over a year. Market share is path dependent. The users paying solana, aka the riders, cared more about low fees and isolated hotspots. Listening to those users is why solana was able to grow and hit pmf.

for real, it’s a rough spot when the app's acting up and then the ride costs a fortune. hope you’re managing to get through it.
