I doubt they ever will be for plebs. Perhaps small timeframes when it is.

I imagine you mean all of us will use LSPs and they’ll all just connect to each other? No one is really saying that out loud but it seems to be shaping up that way. I’m hopeful plebs will eventually be able to run LSPs, maybe even as easily as configuring their lnd or cln to run in an LSP-mode, and there’s at least some diversity there.

I hope enough friction gets dumped from LN that pleb nodes swarm and lower the routing fees of higher and higher value txs. A one-touch LSP mode for pooling would be awesome. I think it's probably the tx's above $50 where the LSPs make all the money. Let's work it to $1000 to start. I hope the future isn't everyone connecting to pools with single regulated Co's, cuz that sort of says the design was wrong. I think the design is right. L1/L2 sort of mirror opposites in strengths and weaknesses. Where as L1 I feel trends from a lower order to a higher order, L2 I feel trends from a higher order to a lower order.

I have the feeling that running and managing a LN node has never been profitable for the average Joe. Nonetheless, it's a great learning journey and a really important activity if you value self-sovereignty!
