I am still not sold on LN and with this information I am even less supportive of this change. For one thing, the complexity of the network seems like overkill. The visual diagram showing the need for centralized hubs or a central "super hub" to move money as an intermediary is unnerving.
There has to be a better way, but I fear that with all the resources and propagandizing LN creators are implementing on the Blockchain populace, it's a full force normalization so we just take the change and deal with the consequences without really having a say.
I have to agree. I provided the links at the bottom because I wanted to show both sides of the argument. Jonald Fyookballs Medium article brings up a real cause for concern.
