So I tried to put content on rarible. It was $900+ to create a ERC 721 token, $13 to create a rarible token. Will be looking into other options.

Then you have to look into tezos. There are some marketplaces for NFTs one is https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/

Transactions on tezos are currently 9000x cheaper than ethereum.

does tezos have some sort of mechanism that makes it scale better than ethereum, or is it only cheap because transaction volume is lower? If it gets popular, would transaction fees skyrocket?

No worries about the fees. It has the ability to evolve. Every 3-4 months a proposal with upgrades will undergo a voting phase. All bakers (PoS participants) are able to vote on this to accept or reject the proposal. The source code is written in a purely functional language on which formal verification is applied. Recently the 5 upgrade was adopted, featuring sappling, privacy for smart contracts and more. Adjustements targeting gas costs have already been made in september. So it steadily evolves and takes the tech of other chains if needed.
