It's all great, until you get arbitrarily blocked and the platform cuts you off your audience. Then it's too late.

  What makes you think you can't get erased from internet if you host your own? Unless you roll your own IPS you are always susceptible to some outside force. Your IPS can terminate your contract, your domain registar can do the same (of course you don't _need_ a domain you can just use an IP address) etc. Yes you cou can make it less but it's never out of question.

    You can make it very difficult to be erased from the Internet if you set up your infrastructure in such a way that you can easily switch providers. Your cloud provider shuts you off? Host your stuff with another cloud provider! Your domain registrar charges you too much? Transfer your domain to another registrar! Your existing payment processor sucks? Switch to a different one! And so on and so forth.

    In practice chance of being banned by the content platforms is many orders of magnitude higher than having any issues with infrastructure companies. To get your DNS banned ... I don't even know what is necessary. Court order maybe. Not something that one company can do on a whim. Companies like Google have random algorithms banning people for no good reason (not even touching any questionable content), and then getting it straight is a pain.
