Ok, you are skeptic, fine. My question to you would be: are you even using SegWit enabled features in Bitcoin?
Of course not. I am a Segwit skeptic. Why would I commit any of my funds to something I think is fundamentally flawed? That would be irrational, right? (1)
Have you tried the LN (testnet is fine too) I'm curious to know if you are skeptic on a theoretical level only
No. What does that LN to do with Segwit? I'm not following your train of inquiry here.
Here is a question for you. Are you familiar with the term 'fungibility'? Can you understand how creating two classes of BTC destroys this property? (Well, after claiming one question, you asked two.) (2)
(1) Fine but to me is like "I don't like carrots!" Have you ever tried them? "no, I think they would kill me".

(2) No SegWit, no LN easy.
Why would I commit any of my funds...
You can use testnet coins........
Fungibility: yes I know what it is and that's a concern for me as well but I know a few ways to protect my privacy. They are costly but I don't care since I value my privacy a lot.
Your line of inquiry really makes little sense.
I mean, I'll grant that LN 'works' in the default case. Of course, there is nothing that I find useful that I could do with it. What am I going to do - draw another penis on some stupid crowdsourced image? What a waste of time. AintNobodyGotTimeForThat.png.
Incidentally, your carrot analogy is stupid. Somehow, I expected better from you.
