It's liberating to know that my emails can't be wholesale data mined or someone can't take down my web project if I commit some ToS thought crime. But doing it for clients was a ball-and-chain that I have no desire to do again. So for personal stuff it's great. For business stuff it's like adopting a pet that you can't leave alone too long. I would keep business stuff outsourced.

Maybe with the exception of Auth? Having some external SaaS startup be in control of your user database can be a bit nerve wracking. Especially if they get acquired by someone terrible.

I'm personally glad that Auth0 wasn't acquired by Oracle. What a nightmare scenario that would be... :D
