I disagree, someone has to pay for the internet, server and electricity to serve your supposedly “free” page. If you are talking about something like GitHub pages? Not really a solution if Microsoft, just…i dont know, got rid of freebies once they have you locked into hosting your content with them? Corpos would never ensure thay have you locked in as a consumer before turning the screws
There are thousands of alternatives to github pages that will host your content for free. Taking your static website to a different host literally takes 5 minutes. At the scale of Github or Netlify your 1gb/mo bandwidth blog website is a rounding error and well worth the potential conversion price. The ignorance in this thread is astounding.
You can “disagree” all you want but reality is that information hosting made huge gains in the past 20 years to the point where the only cost to share a blog these days is the domain name. Even if you don’t want to feed the “free corporate machines” then you can easily host it for 5$/mo and if you can’t afford that I don’t know what to tell you.
Okay sure the internet is free and corpos are always going to give away web hosting…or i do self host and know that someone has to pay the bill despite it being “200 kb”…bruh, they aint giving it away for free, your content and everything you “own” are the price you pay for admission. Start up or mega corp, if you are not paying for it, you are the product
Literally free. So many tech illiterate people in this threat that still think website hosting costs money.
