I've been running a #bitcoinlightning node for 4 months now. Down over 0.5% on my total added capacity, on top the electricity bill (small of course but still) and my "work" (it's a hobby so I don't count it). Are there really people out there who run those at a real profit? I mean a profit, that justifies the work put in?

@Jeff Booth said you can generate 4% interest a year and tbh. 0.5% would already good enough for me I guess. But instead, I am even sub zero. Would appreciate some feedback on what I might be doing wrong. Should I stop doing any rebalance? Should I only connect to the large nodes and start competing in the fee-race with an app like Clboss/LNDG?

Or should I simply quit and leave the table to actual business nodes?
