I run one of the worlds 12,000+ open dedicated 24/7 meganode peer-verifier. As a perk of maintaining 120+ simultaneous connections of fiber, I can usually effectively coax transactions for less than a dollar [by instantly being in everybody else's mempool]. This does typically mean I have to wait several hours for confirmation... until a few years ago, I could still do "no fee tranactions" — while today this might work, its success is no longer guaranteed.
