4 years ago I set up my primary lightning node hosted server.
I funded it with several coins, figuring better to have too much liquidity than not enough.
I opened dozens of channels under the same assumption.
Over the years I've barely touched it other than to update release versions.
Today it only has half a dozen channels due to peers disappearing or closing channels, but the value of my liquidity is higher than ever, so I don't see a need to open more channels.
Which begs the question: is this centralization? 🧐
