Is running a full Bitcoin client worth it?

for me it is better to use the cloud system. it will be easier in the maintenance and use of bitcoin in full.

It's definitely worth it as it gives me a great feeling that I can help to keep the network a bit more decentralized. I am however only running my full node for like 12 hours a day. That's mainly due to the fact that when I am using my PC and have the client running, that it slows down everything. That's why the full node only runs when I am not on my PC.
