You're definitely a real operator. The primary difficulty in being an operator is exposing yourself to the inevitable abuse complaints and secondarily paying for the required compute and network resources.
Thankfully I've been able to hide behind my employer's good name for both those things, so perhaps you are more real than I am on that count even though I've been running exits for >10 years (maybe even 15 now?).
So thanks and welcome! -Jon
