The number of transactions a day is increasing and the blocks are getting fuller.
Good. So, it is time to increase the minimum tx fees. People must understand that they have to compete for blockchain inclusion. The sooner the better!

yes I have always failed to understand why it seems to be blasphemous in the bitcoin world to say you should pay for it to work (or pay more for it to work faster for you etc). If I want to send bitcoin to someone i want it to get there reasonably quickly and am prepared to pay more for the time to be shortened. I am old enough to remember when you had a sea mail (overland) and airmail choice at the post office. It worked fine. If people who are running the system that makes the transfer work/secure etc should they not be rewarded?

If there is a consensus? that the poor or some other group needs assistance to offset any costs then that should be done by grant/subsidy to them or some other way. It should not be through the system itself. It just creates secondary issues/problems for all
