it can be, i think alex bosworth’s node is a good example of this… but it takes effort (and capital).
when you consider the value of your time, most people don’t make money from their lightning nodes.
I learned some things from that interview you did with Alex, but I agree. I sure haven't figured out how to make a profit and I can do better focusing my time elsewhere. Now, the value of the knowledge I've gained. That is probably worth more long term.
