Some experience of a node operator:

I think it is a very interesting experience.
It would be interesting to know more: total bitcoin allocated to the node, technical commitment, how much maintenance is needed, etc.
I guess node operator could be a full time job.

so if LN is supposedly "cheap", "independent" and all that buzzwords of "decentralised", "be your own bank"

his node charged 3.6m sats for the use of his channel funds over a week.. but he then had to pay someone 2.9m sat 'offchain cost'.. giving the guy only 0.7m sat profit
emphasis: "offchain cost" (facepalm)

if applepay charges app owners 40% for using their payment system ends up in court .. how about LN hubs/managers/LN app creators charging 80%

just remember folks
devs didnt cause issues to bitcoin to make it better, they caused issues to:
promote LN being the fix of the issues they caused to bitcoin
make profit as middle men on LN because they cant take middle men 'costs' from actual bitcoin transaction
