I can understand your frustration and have been thinking the same thing lately. I know my node only ends up costing me money....the traffiic is infrequent and if I charge breakeven fees all of the traffic disappears. Autofee settings and rebalancing are ineffective. Force closures are a pain in the ass. The right mix of channels never seems to exist.. I want to support the network, and I am supporting the network by providing the node 24/7. I shouldn't have to pay to route other peoples traffic. so I consider it the node of last resort with the hightest fees money can buy for now, and maybe things will change in the future. Cheers!!
