Has it translated to an increase in revenue?

 This is massive news especially if you've been paying attention to the gargantuan size of Tether on Tron.

The global market wants dollars and what Lightning Labs is doing is bringing the best available settlement tech to that market using #Bitcoin.

 Jesus Christ man

They don't even have an MTL; they build the protocol. 

Look at the who already has MTLs and that's who will compete for that market.

Core devs vs exchanges

 There are both optimists and pessimists building on bitcoin.

Optimists build the plane. 
Pessimists build the parachute.

 It's best to schedule a tour. The doors are locked generally but it is available for prospective members to try for a day or two.

It's a workplace most days, but events help bring the community together at Bitcoin Park!

 You include route hints in the invoice. It instructs which node(s) to go to first before reaching your private node destination.

 I think you're misconstruing operating a routing node with running a node in general.

Operating a routing node is not a money making endeavor currently for most people.

Receiving money to a lightning node using public or private channels is achievable, especially for business cases. 

There is a step learning curve, but it is an alternative to traditional settlement rails that is less subject to censorship.
