I NEVER rebalance, only in very special cases when I really want to do that with a channel ins specific situation. I wrote here an article explaining the experiement with my node with doing routing without ANY useless rebalancing.

IMHO, obsessive rebalancing is stupid and doesn't help at all the network. I totally agree with what ZeroFeeRouting is saying in this tweet about having a way in the LN code to announce the channel balance and have a non-failed routing.

It is just stupid to hide behind a higher or lower fee when a channel is inbalanced or even disable the channel. Disabling channels because are depleted on one side I think is even idiotic, is like closing the door to possible routing, that channel is totally useless and not productive.

Just with a bit of patience and good peers, the channels will go back to life even if are depleted. I observed that to my node.

The most important thing is that new node operators if they really want to route, will have to maintain a good stability of their node and number of their peers, not running a 2-3-10 channels node and want to route 1BTC/day. You need to expand to have as many connections you can.

If not, just use a private node for your personal payments and done, no need to be public and stay in the way. Private channels works in a different way. You can even use a mobile LN wallet like Blixt if you really want to have a LN node but not for routing.

I never disable channels and I never rebalance them. Are balancing themselves by finding the right peers. I also use low fees ppm with 0 base fee forever.

We don't have fuck each others with high fees... remember we are here to fuck the banksters not to each others.
