 Not at all. I ran a routing node for about a year and learned a ton about bitcoin and LN in the process. There is a substantial cost in the way of capital and time to doing it right and provide good liquidity and connectivity to the rest of the network. The costs far outweighed the benefit I would gain from it right now. Maybe that changes in the future. Everyone needs to make a cost/benefit analysis for themselves, but the task itself does not become easier or less expensive simply because it becomes more worth it to you.
