Maybe but channel numbers is going down due to the fucking force closing bug between LND and CLN! In the last 3 weeks I had 40 force closed channels due to fucking worthless shit on LND code! This is outrageous!
If LN devs will not get their shit together and focus on fixing LN bugs and improve the fucking gossip protocol... then LN is a failed experiment. https://bitcoinvisuals.com/ln-nodes
