There'll always be good server admins willing to manage servers for peanuts, and just because they're cheap doesn't make them monkeys. THis is a free market, node managers earnings will follow the law of compensation like for everyone.
"the amount of compensation you receive is in direct proportion to; the need for what you do, your ability to do it, and ease of replacing you"
yeah, I see this attitude all the time now , "I'll just hire an Indian guy to code my application and run my business backend for 10 bucks an hour", it doesn't work bro, not when reliability counts, and here it clearly does. You might get elected once, but your node will be so unreliable you'll always be in the bottom half facing re-election, and nobody will vote for you again. And it's nothing against guys from India either, but unless he/she is into komodo off their own steam, you can't rely on them for 24/7 attention. Hiring cheap from low wage countries only works for one off projects with zero after sale service, and running a notary requires day-to-day attention. Notary nodes need to be run by crypto people with a stake in the success of the project.
