At this point, I’m not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

    That monthly sub is worth it for reclaiming my time

    Yeah definitely, it’s a small price for the benefit, but also to add to how I feel about subscriptions, I think their major flaw is they don’t consider poor parts of the world like Africa were I live, while 6 $ is reasonable or even cheap for some people, here it’s a lot of money ( x200 which means 1$ = 200 ), so it’s not accessible…

    Only few, very few websites change their pricing based on my IP address, or send me to a different domain, but for the most part it’s not affordable

    You might ask, does you ISPs have VPS plans ? Yes they do,

    Tap for spoiler

    waaaay more expensive than European VPSs combined … LoL…

    There’s also politics and agenda involved but won’t get into it, it’s just bad news, and we have enough of that already

      The currency situation makes sense and I apologize-- I realize now I had a very western-centric perspective while writing my thoughts. I can absolutely understand hosting on your own hardware, as the opportunity cost in that situation is hugely different. I think the next best option is a good server OS and the ghost docker container but you are right it is not as straight forward or easy. Best of luck friend, trust documentation not youtubers :)
