Hi,
(rather new relay operator here, so excuse me, if this is a dumb question)
I just saw this (https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth.html) graph, which shows that the advertised relay bandwidth in the whole network is more than double the actually used bandwidth. While it's certainly nice to have a bit of breathing space to absorb load spikes, I'm wondering, if new relays (i.e. non-exits) are actually helpful at this point, or if they simply don't make a difference.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Jens

Hi Jens,
it's always good to have even more relays or exit nodes, as more "hop points" for connections means more diversity throughout the network which increases anonymity for all users. And it's like with donations, every bit counts ;)
Best, Michael
