Nodes with lots of BTC can open many jumbo channels and see decent traffic with high fees. Nodes with little BTC can open a few small channels and only see rebalancing flows. Capitalism? Yes. Fair? No. It is exactly a predator-prey relationship.

There is a huge value proposition in the LN, and any entity that has figured that out and found a way to profit from that is not a 'predator,' they are entrepreneurial. Don't let profit taking get in the way of you seeing how LN empowers you to be your own source of instantaneous liquidity anywhere in the world, without needing permission from any authority besides your own ego.
