Do not feed other companies with your work. Capitalize on your work yourself: keep it independent, host it yourself, use your own domain. It's not expensive and it isn't difficult.
And above all, do not feed Facebook. I sometimes want to cry when I see how much effort people put into Facebook posts that live for a week or two and then disappear in a black hole forever.

But it’s easy to forget how obscure are all these things to beginers, and how little regular users understand the technologies that underpin the internet they use every day. You have to understand DNS entries, setting up a server (most linux boxes are CLI only), installing apache, setting up a website in apache, setting up TLS, setting up a way to upload your website, creating your website (minimum html/css, probably some javascript, or learning how to install and configure worldpress). Even if you go the route of a managed hosting you still need to worry about half of those steps. And between DNS and hosting, it’s not that cheap either.
