Did you know Bitcoin Core got it's 1st fee estimator in February 2015 with Bitcoin Core 0.10.0
Before this fees were hardcoded, and changed with new versions to reflect market conditions.

Here we can see people in 2010 being very surprised by the fact that fees are even a thing on Bitcoin.
They did not knew the extra BTC they got when mining were transactions fees.
