Please spread the word: there are 0 economic rewards—currently or in the future—for running a Hub.

Only run a Hub if you:
1. Find it fun
2. Find it useful for your project or your business

There's no surprise or gotcha that comes later.

All of the YouTube video tutorials are lying to you about a potential reward.

A reminder: there are 0 economic rewards for running a Hub. 

There won't be a surprise one later.

For example, this YouTube video has 7.4K views teaching people how to operate a Hub on a $50 a month VPS. If you don't actually have a use for the Hub—or aren't in it for ideological / altruistic reasons—stop wasting your money. :)

Too many Hubs is bad. Makes network slow. 

There are more Hubs than Ethereum nodes right now. Overkill.

There’s a 1 ETH bounty if you can prove they are fake. A bunch of people have looked and they seem real enough.

I don't think so. Maybe most of them are just using multiple IPs, specially in Germany & 2 Datacenters.
