Which fee are you setting? You are free to charge transaction relay fees to people submitting transactions to your node, though nobody does and AFAIK no node software supports that feature.

You can set a minimum transaction relay fee, but that fee is paid to miners, not to you. This filter is to help you optimize your view of the important part of the mempool. If you want to close your eyes and not see valid transactions in the mempool because it offends your sense of civic duty or morality, you can set it to any level or to filter on any criteria you’d like…you’re only degrading your network intelligence, which means your wallets might want to use too low a fee rate because it sees an empty mempool on your node (despite the fact that miner mempools are full of stupid crap that pay well).
