Fake L2's don't scale anything
There's two factors in scaling
1) Transaction throughput: Lightning already scales transactions infinitely
2) Ownership: Distribution is the real bottleneck, there's a minimum amount of Bitcoin needed to not be dust and even at sub-sat fees today there's not enough Bitcoin for everyone to trustlessly transact (unilateral exit)... a few hundred million people at most... likely less as big accumulators like institutions continue to accumulate

2) ownership also involves the ability to batch the creation and securing of more Lightning channels.
Lightning already has batch opens that reduce costs 80%, but no one uses that because cost isn't a bottleneck.
Ark batching also doesn't lower the boundary on unilateral exit.
Fake L2's literally solve nothing, Lightning for better or worse realizes the immutable physics of the chain. Fake L2's are just re-branding for smugglers of centralization and trust. Shitcoiners 2.0


These posts are just shilling hopium. It should say "what this MIGHT bring to bitcoin" of course it would still require research, development and market fit.
