 A routing node is not the only option, you can run a private node and have a much better experience 
 That's exactly what I do 
 And you still are bitching about it?. 
 Hahahaha yes! Fucking connect Zeus to it and you literally have the best UX and fully sovereign. I don't believe he's running a node. 
 Private node?  

You opened multiple channels in unannounced mode?  Why are you balancing them then?  They're private, they don't route. Private channels work better when they're not balanced. Surly you've read the manual and know that?

Only public channels need to be balanced. They work better when they are balanced because it provides paid routing opportunities to route other people's payments.  

Private channels never route payments so being balanced doesn't do anything for you apart from waisting fees balancing the channels. There's no point balancing private channels.

RTFM 
 I never claimed that I rebalanced or needed to rebalance channels. Maybe instead of constantly crying RTFM you can actually read what I wrote and address the central point.
