I'm really tired of bad node operator that do not take advantage of everything we have and expect for the LN network to work properly. If you have a node, please do this.
I recommend having an automatic fee automator like charge-lnd so channels don't become stagnant:
https://github.com/accumulator/charge-lnd
And put some negative inbound fees for channels with no liquidity:

Any question I will respond below.
A good starting configuration:
========
[encourage-routing]
# 'autobalance' (lower fees so using outbound is more attractive)
chan.min_ratio = 0.98
inbound_base_fee_msat = 0
inbound_fee_ppm = 0
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 0
fee_ppm = 0
[discourage-routing]
# 'autobalance' (higher fees so using outbound is less attractive)
chan.max_ratio = 0.2
chan.min_ratio = 0.05
inbound_base_fee_msat = -64
inbound_fee_ppm = -16
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 1_000
fee_ppm = 700
[all-liquidity-is-theirs]
chan.max_ratio = 0.00
inbound_base_fee_msat = -128
inbound_fee_ppm = -128
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 100_000
fee_ppm = 5000
[discourage-routing-extreme]
chan.max_ratio = 0.05
inbound_base_fee_msat = -128
inbound_fee_ppm = -32
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 10_000
fee_ppm = 2500
[proportional]
# 'proportional' can also be used to auto balance (lower fee rate when low remote balance & higher rate when higher remote balance)
# fee_ppm decreases linearly with the channel balance ratio (min_fee_ppm when ratio is 1, max_fee_ppm when ratio is 0)
chan.min_ratio = 0.2
chan.max_ratio = 0.98
strategy = proportional
min_fee_ppm = 8
max_fee_ppm = 160
inbound_base_fee_msat = 0
inbound_fee_ppm = 0
base_fee_msat = 128
min_fee_ppm_delta=16
