Maybe you should actually check the blocks. If your transaction pays fee 5 cents it would easily get included in the mined blocks. Often immediately.
As I mentioned, if people are using wallets or exchanges that set the fee higher, that's their fault. They are stupidly overpaying and that's why average is high.
Since mempool is currently empty, the blocks include transactions with 1 sat/vB. For average transaction with 140vB that would be 140 sats, which is currently ~0.05 USD.
