Wow... This is highly misleading. You didn't pay a 50% fee. You paid 500 sat fee. Which would still be a 500 sat fee if you sent 10,000 sats. Tell me more about lightning scaling Bitcoin and what fees have been subsidized on lightning by passionate devs and VCs. That money is running out. The true cost of lightning is becoming clear. It's not free. It costs a lot of time (read money) to manage liquidity between your nodes.
You're smart enough to know this. I can only assume you mean to deliberately misleading your followers to throw shade on a competing way to send Bitcoin that isn't your precious wallet that will never work at scale because regular people will never run nodes that have 100% uptime. Which is why lightning liquidity is centralized to large corpos and will only continue to get worse.
