The whole concept of LN is to create consistently spendable monies with lower fees.

Meaning you're supposed to connect to nodes you are trying to pay monies to consistently.

Routing payments & just connecting to a bunch of retards' nodes was never the main objective for end users.

Doing this for the sake of adding LN capacity is an *altruistic* pursuit - which in life usually means willing to pay monies out for said pursuit.
