Definitely not, but LN is L2 so it still depends on the main blockchain to function. If LN transactions are stuck somewhere between 500000 monkey and dick pics there's little use in LN.
I'm honestly curious if you're frustrated by the monkey pics per se, or by the fact that the miners prioritize transactions which pay more than you do.
Can you please explain to me how LN improves bitcoin privacy?
When you send a payment, the receiver doesn't know which lightning node sent it. The intermediary nodes which route transactions neither know the sender and the receiver. The only know it goes somewhere, from someone.
