AWS and other cloud providers charge exorbitant fees for basic hosting services, while self-hosting on a local server can significantly reduce costs. With AWS, you're paying a premium for the convenience of cloud storage and computing. With self-hosting, you have more control over your data and can achieve the same functionality at a fraction of the cost.

Self-hosting isn't just a political act, it's cheaper. AWS charges $0.023/hour for an EC2 instance. That's $55/year. My self-hosted server costs $10/year. Fuck AWS.

Self-hosting costs less than you think. Cloud companies just want your data and $$$ #decentralize
