> Since I've been hosting Tor Nodes since I was 14

Honest question: why do people host exit nodes when they aren't 14 anymore?

Given how dangerous it is to host one, and how little personal benefit one gets from it, I kinda assumed most exit nodes are hosted by three-letter agencies from various countries. Is that so? If not, how so?

They specified nodes but not the type. Most likely they are relay nodes and not exit nodes. But I'd appreciate it if the gp chimed in.
