This is what I've never understood about Tor. What possible incentive does anyone have to run an exit node? Seems like nothing but a liability for some extremely awful stuff.
There is no incentive to run any node other than feeling good about it or using it for intelligence purposes. It's a volunteer thing. But to run exits you just need a host who won't kick you for every single abuse notice.

A stronger/faster Tor network.
Most people are probably leery of running an exit node, because its traffic is in the clear (modulo ssh) and often connects to disparate and shady servers.
