This is going to give me an aneurysm. For the love of freedom, people, please own your content online – host it on your own domain.

I used to think the same way. But, propagation of your content is a lot more important than just feeling good that it's hosted on your own blog.
I would argue, as a modern professional, propagation of your FQDN is also very important.
Even if you no longer own or control the content?
What use is owning it if nobody reads it?
You'd be surprised at how much traffic you can get if your blog is properly indexed on Google.
