Well, there's also no real payoff. Hosting your own blog is just a major HN circlejerk. Who cares?

There are 100 other things I'd rather focus on in the day than die on the hill of owning my own platform, or spending even one second remembering which server I have to SSH into or how it was setup again, revisiting the Jekyll docs just one more time, ctrl-r recursive searching for the last time I used that one command 6 months ago when my blog broke (again).

People don't like to admit this. We like to fixate on some sort of ideological purity as if we're immortal or something.
