Also, part of the grift of the modern internet is people charging money to run your own site. You can run your own Wordpress box, but it'll probably get hacked, because Wordpress is a pile of dependencies with a huge attack surface area. So you end up paying money to Automattic to run your WP instance for you. Meanwhile, if you carefully craft your own website, you can just not include obvious things like log4j and be free from 99.9% of exploits.

You have to learn Jekyll[1] though if you're running a blog, which is a way to publish without manually editing templates and god forbid, writing some HTML. Then you just buy a domain for 10 years in advance and you're set. 10 years is a long time in tech and is plenty of time to produce meaningful content that makes a dent.
