'plebian perpective' 😂

Yes, I think that if you go to LightningNetwork.plus or find some other random pleb there are good chances is just some dude messing around with lightning. maybe he is even running LND on his latptop, or his raspberry is overheating or some other issue that will cause the node to go offline and channels being closed. Probably a good way to avoid this is to choose to open most channels with 'proven' nodes or at least nodes that have a high average channel lifetime.

A trick that I used and worked really well from my node, is to pay a few sats for an inbound channel with LNBIG. I then transferred about half of the channel capacity to myself from an exchange that supports lightning (right now the big ones are bitfinex, okex, okcoin). This has worked really well so far, I didn't even need to transfer bitcoin on-chain to my lightning node.

This channel opening service can be made even more useful if it allows you to pay upfront for several inbound channels, that are only open in the case of missing inbound liquidity. This missing liquidity could be automatically detected. Similarly, some custodian could automatically transfer money to your node if you are missing outbound liquidity.
