Back then I was reading people saying there was no need to use LN because the on-chain fees were too low to make them care enough to try it. I knew things would go in the other direction back then, even if the particulars for why are different each time.

I spun mine up in mid 2022. Back then there was a fledging community of LN hobbyist node runners, but the spam has mostly killed that off.
