The bigger the better for routing of course, as currently most use is probably on exchanges using LN and things like robosats and etc. But then the use on small communities bars cafés and restaurants grow there will much tons of small txs passing through.

2M sats is like what? 100 coffees of 2000 sats? Except channel reserves, anchors, buffers etc
That means if you open a channel with a coffee shop for just 100 payments routed, how much you could get in routing fees? less than 100 sats if you are lucky and ALL txs are routed through your shity Tor node.
What about if somebody wants to make a swap of 1M sats and get in the route your shity node? You will fail to route that tx because of liquidity.
There are a lot of economics in running a routing node, but noobs are really ignoring them.

It's quite simple, if the OP is satisfied with the fees he gets from his channels than good for him, if small for the coffee shop then the coffee shop will open with nodes with bigger channels, supply and demand. If someone has a shitty tor node, then your node on clearnet will route more, good for you.
