It is becoming more apparent to a lot of people that Lightning is not what we were told it would be 8 years ago. The way that autistic computer nerds claim to use it is not scalable. For mass adoption it totally depends on these centralized rube goldberg machines like Spark. Users don't get everything they were promised.

Users need a better alternative. If you look at how much centralization Lightning has already created, it makes small conservative blocksize increases more attractive. Small blocksize increases would have introduced less centralization vs. what centralization Lightning has already introduced. We know this now! We got a bad deal.

If we went in the other direction, by now we would be talking about activating more opcodes so we can have safer and more efficient sidechains. We wouldn't be complaining about Spark. It wouldn't exist!

It's time to stop listening to people who constantly lie to you about centralization.
