I understand the point being made ( running a personal server can be frustrating / time-consuming /annoying ) but the principle of the Web is peer to peer hyperlinking.

Consolidating onto 'easy' vended services may work short-term, but will accelerate the transformation of the Web into 'channels' owned by media conglomerates. Opera Unite was a valiant effort to fight the transformation for 'normal folk' to use but sadly withered.

No-one much visits my blog so I don't have a problem with load, but several co-geeks have moved theirs into AWS to handle peaks. I still feel that's sort-of cheating but at least they retain control and technical nous.
