maybe for smaller nodes (with few channels) but from a certain point opening new channels does not affect the number of transactions so much. Now Im trying to find peers that improve my position in the network so I can get to more nodes with less hops. And when I find such nodes Im looking at the fees they have for example from the below picture coingate improves my hop rate and they have low fees so its highly possible to route through them. But if I find a node that has a flat rate of 1000ppm thats a no go.
