Middle/guard relay or standalone snowflake bridge, which is currently needed more?

[yummy_onion]

Hi, I know that exit relays and WebTunnel bridges are in most need but I don’t want the legal liabilities that come from running exit relays and don’t currently have the time to learn to set up a domain and the other steps to be able to run a WebTunnel. Out of middle/guard relays or standalone snowflake bridges, which is the network currently in more need of?

Maybe, but consider making a bridge instead. A bridge is better than a Snowflake proxy. And bridges get less load than middle relays, so consider trying that.

It’s a hard question, akin to “should I donate to cancer research or to homeless shelters”. Censorship and anonymity are different issues, with different prevalence among different countries.

Depends on many factors.
Do you have a bandwith cap or unlimited?
Static ip or dynamic?

unlimited → relay
static → relay
bandwith limited → snowflake
dynamic ip → snowflake
