I personally burned out. Yes free internet was helpful when I was discovering my gay sexuality. Now it hypercharges the cult of youth and beauty, making it impossible to date.

Yes, I was great advocate of self hosting, till due to combination of ADHD and other stuff my domain expired and was taken by squatter. And the incessant DDoSing.

And the tone-deaf arguments completely ignoring that there are bad people on the internet too. Talking about online anonymity when google has most of your email even if you don't use it. And Cloudflare has most of your traffic, unencrypted.
