Who wrote confused participating in the network, routing his own payments and helping others, but to provide a service. if he wants earnings he should connect to better peers or act as a small bank for his community, family or friends, mirroring his economic autonomy, through the bitcoin payment network. this autonomy of receiving sats inside lightning without needing custody, otherwise he pays for being able to have it.

Today this has a cost too, and not everyone is willing to invest in connecting with good peers and grow a healthy network. I'd bet 80% of the nodes are involuntarily bad actors, meaning they are unable (like me) to properly manage or set up a node that satisfies their needs. Most do not even know what their needs are and simply go in yield-seeking mode.
