if you can pay the ~$300/node and the ~$15-30/month power and internet bill for it, it's your money, i mean, what can i say.
i stopped running a node recently, mainly because i had better value from using the 4tb SSD i was using for this purpose.
also, it's not really a vote, it's just having an influence on what transactions get relayed. in actual fact, i could envision a much lighter weight server that just runs a mempool and applies policy. that would be a vote too. only needs one IP address also, you can run many on one with different ports.
