I managed to stack up some crypto across a few different layer networks over the last year. Some of my funds are sitting on Optimism right now and the rest is on the main Ethereum network. My goal is to consolidate everything into one place so I can actually keep track of it all. I heard direct network swaps are not really possible and people usually run some crazy complex routing schemes to get the tokens across. Those wild setups are completely over my head since I just want to move my ETH from Optimism over to the mainnet. What is the easiest way to pull off this transfer?

People always default to major exchanges simply because they already have an account sitting there from their early trading days. The reality hits when those corporate apps freeze your profile randomly for security reviews right when you need your money the most. They also charge absolutely wild withdrawal fees that change constantly depending on network traffic. Third-party routing tools let you bypass those corporate hubs completely and shoot your coins straight across the networks in minutes. You can use a bridge from Optimism to Ethereum here: https://defiway.com/bridges/bridge-eth-optimism-ethereum . The smart contract locks your tokens on one side and drops the funds on the destination chain right away. You just connect your wallet and click approve to get the whole transfer sorted out quickly.
