>Running a tor node is a thankless thing one can choose to do.

One might argue that’s the case with most activities on the internet, maintaining an open source projects for free? Helping others in forums and online discussions? Dedicating time to find good articles to submit to HN!? The only thing you will get is some brownie points online. I believe who does run an exit node usually aren’t motivated by thanks and upvotes, that being said, thanks for your time and efforts running that node!
