Ah, indie web. I gave up on it. Self-hosting is relegated to the dustbin of "meh, who has time for that." Most people, even savvy social media folks, wouldn't know the first thing about hosting a website (a good number of them might not even know that you can). We're forgetting the technology only marginally slower than it took to get here and enter the public consciousness. The problem is that the audience is on Twitter/FB/Insta/TikTok/etc. That's the first place people look/search/find things. I still host my own blog, email, etc but... the reader numbers are about what you'd expect: next to zilch.
