Lightning network is online. It is good for small amount of money. So why need to open a channel? You can use some wallets that have a channel for you. All you will need to do is to download the wallet, open the wallet and do backups and start using lightning network without opening any channel. In addition, those wallets that have their own channels are very easy to use. They are even the ones that make lightning network adoption to be increasing.
It's strange how you didn't think of that ten days ago
when you were giving advice to a friend, because it would help him a lot to save on fees every time he makes the new transaction. Maybe in the future, everyone who has a complaint about fees should forget about complaints (especially public ones) and simply start using LN? When the matter is already so simple, why at least twenty topics on the subject of high fees?
