Much of the year I charged 0/0 for non-corporate peers. Their force closes caused by their arbitrage spam programs caused me to charge a 100-200 ppm to offset. Keeping fees low and closing idle channels had exponential results. Many operators refuse to close a channel and reopen to rebalance on chain and would rather have 5 mil sats sit on one side for 6 months than pay 223 sats to reload and re-earn. I can close and re-open channels several times an hour to keep my peers sats moving for them. Unfortunately, many nodes exist merely to exist and have never spent a sat on LN. once you make a purchase and pay some bills and see how pathfinding works beyond a circular rebalance you become invested in developing a peer set that can support your personal economy. Some very good peers here. The interesting thing about Loopers is you can peer with them and since they have so many peers pushing sats to Loop you can easily get payments out because they charge so little to go the opposite direction from Loop.
