    Hosting your own video on your own storage and network bill is not free. If you don’t believe me, go try doing it yourself.

    I know this is true but why do I see so many people on lemmy pushing for self-hosting and even talking about it like its some low rent hobby?

      It’s not exactly an expensive hobby, but it’s also not free.
