> The industries can't build platform independent anymore.

The rest of your comment stems from that one sentence which is an unfounded assertion built upon an unstated assumption. If you really believe that then this conversation is irrelevant because the platforms are, generally, private commercial enterprises that should modify their terms and delete your accounts as necessary to increase their revenue while you have given up even imagining alternatives.

If you are only a marketing person completely void with any technical competence then you absolutely need platforms to tell you what your priorities are, otherwise you can always self host.

Nice.

How much does a bunch of self-taught coders or students cost, who can proof to you that they can self-host for you?

How would a salesman convince you that's a bad idea?

Why do agencies immediately put you on all platforms? Who anchored this and why?

You want exposure. Where to find that exposure? Why would users/customers get on your self-hosted platform? How would they find it?

What priorities do these platforms have? Short-, mid-, long-term?
