Solana's low fees are the reason for its success!
I respect @ItsDave_ADA; however, his SOL critique is misleading:
That bot paid for every "failed" TX & continues to do so; that makes it a feature, not a bug
As normal users can still transact reliably!
Solana's low fees have created the ultimate "fake it till you make it" environment.
One bot just sent nearly 11 million transactions in 30 days. The most interesting part? It failed 99.95% of the time.
So, who cares about a bunch of failed transactions? They don't just vanish. They permanently bloat the ledger. This makes it a nightmare for the archive nodes that have to store the chain's full history, driving up costs for explorers and analytics tools we all rely on.
It’s a brutal reminder that headline stats like TPS can be pure vanity. 11 million transactions can mean almost nothing. Metrics have 0 value, when the fees are so low, bots like this are completely distorting these metrics, to trick investors into investing.
