In 2019-2020 it was a massive desire to run a LN node from many people. But they had no idea what that imply.
IMHO was a mistake to push many people into this.
That's why I jump into the support groups and start helping them.
For about 2 years I was like 24/7 support for Umbrel users. But I got tired explaining to pkebs that they are doing it wrong. No matter jow many guides I wrote and instructions given the bottleneck was always the tor nodes poorly managed.
That's why nowaday LN is not seen as being reliable. People got a wrong idea about what is LN and mostly because of their own mistakes.
And this is how this meme was born

Every node runner has a dream of routing millions of BTC and earning fees and being part of something that bigger than themselves.
I think this could have been a possibility if the early pleb nodes were forced to be Tor nodes.
Now it seems you need to dedicate a lot of time to be competitive in the landscape of public routing
And here is where dreams die hard
