Personally I'm now less prone to do a btc transaction since the fee market has exploded and blockstream/sidechains aren't really available currently. I was enjoying speding btc with sites like humblebundle, but currently is really a pain. It's just me or you are on the same boat?
Although I dont use bitcoin to get basic things as we have no merchant accepting it as a means of payment so we are left with only to convert to fiat before getting anything we want to get. In that regards when it come to fees I try as much as possible to reduce to the barest minimum by not converting every now and then. What I do is accumulate to the point I needed to cash out I just pay the one time fee which is not always too much compared to what I want to get...
That seems to work for me as well, Spending Bitcoins every now and then is a pain in the ass due to increase in transactions fees and a long time to wait to get my transactions confirmed. These issues have made me limit the number of times I make Transactions. Instead, I pay in bulk. Thanks to Electrum Wallet " pay to many " feature. So yes, The high fees made me Change how I make TX(s)
