I believe since 2023 you can run your own satellite (community satellite program), but it will not be a part of Storj official network. You run your sat, and you convince clients and SNOs to join. You take the money from clients and you pay SNOs. It’s your network. If it’s rewarding or not, is entierly up to you.
It’s not like in crypto projects were you run validators or other types of sats and get a part of the reward. Here clients pay you in Fiat or whatever and you pay your storage providers and other expenses.

Moderators will add their input shortly, if I missunderstood something.
