I've been running a lightning node for years now, just started rebalancing to add liquidity to the network. I have collected 635 sats by routing and today I paid over 4000 sats in rebalance fees to keep my main channels from zeroing out.
I did a bit of research and I realized that I've got channels with people who have fee rates set at 1000x what I'm charging - looking at you, jb55 (nprofile…5e6s) - and I'm left unsurprised that there are people who don't believe in Lightning as a workable solution.
