The answer depends on your capitalization.

It not a lot..

I shoot for 5 million sat channels. It's more important for routing success for the network to have fewer big well connected channels than a bunch of small channels.

Happy to add an incoming channel : node id?

I think I’m trying to get rid of some

You just need better ones.

What is the definition of a good one, one that gets used a lot, high local and remote liquidity?

https://amboss.space has a lot of information on nodes. https://lightningnetwork.plus too. Then there is https://1ml.com/

Good question.

What’s your node ID, I’ll open one to you.

I think we already have two between us, public and private, both get good usage

Our channel is too small. I’m going to open a larger one.

Enough to have a few online even after a few peers go down. Big enough to never fail payments due to channel being too small.
