Oh, I thought you meant that dude sounded like a 6 year old. Yeah, I remember him, vaguely. He’s a big blocker, so of course LN was DOA six years ago. Seems to work great for me still, so I guess people did solve the problems he mentioned.
When I open a channel with someone, they have custody of my funds? They can rug??

Dunno bro, feels like every major LN app/company is being forced to exit the US market because of the issues mentioned in the video above.

No, it doesn't seem that way. There was just one, and they did take custody of funds. There's no reason why people can't run lightning self-custodial-ly. Sure it's pretty technical to ramp up atm, but there are no unsolved technical hurdles to simplify that.
