And open yourself to risk of force closures amidst high fee environment? No thanks.
Even having high quality peers can't guarantee not having force closes that costs up to 200k sats in sweep fees, what more offering yourself to be the channel initiator to unreliable noobs.
... then have fun staying onchain...

Unfortunately, that IS the rational decision for a working class sat-stacker like me.
I run a node. I buy coffee from my local cafe with lightning. I eat force close sweep fees.
But I can't afford to act philanthropically. I'm here to stack sats, not to lose em.
