 Please explain why the tiny channels are making the network worse. 
 More paths to probe, bigger graph of routes that won't work

When it comes to channels, less is more

 What would be the minimum channel size in your view to make it worthwhile?

 That makes it complex; not necessarily worse. Although yes, worse if those many paths are seen as spammy stuff. Aye, main roads are main; those goes to Rome with no miss. Still in the small happens things out of the useless...

 it makes it worse... it's as source routed network

don't make a routing node without high quality

you can make crappy nodes for sending and receiving but don't pretend to be making service with your 5 year old rpi and ADSL1 internet connection

 The "don't go be pretending you're going to milk this thing" is fair ground to me. I agree that does not happen and it shouldn't be a goal to see it running a node that way.  Small channels faces the question of how small is small; guided by miners fee, even a quarter of a million could be enough to start playing over the lnbits interface and give new users introductions to the protocol. Could be examples; however the one I see with curiosity is that of size and value along Globe's demographics, that being, a one million channel could be seen as useless in Europe, not so much alike over Latin America; later imagination could fly over places where number bias has already been tricked... Darth also has written about something alike I think...
