0.002 ETH per year sounds reasonable. But then 0.1 ETH gas for each transaction is ridiculous.

I shouldn't have to. When I use my credit card, VISA charges the merchant (which can be passed to me), yes, but not at 5000% of the purchase.

It's cheaper to pay for 2 years in 1 tx, than 1 year twice in 2x, because that's 2 vs 1 modifications to global state.

The price of gas is not constant. Wait for lower demand.
