That is absolutely true. But if you're just blogging and only need the base install with Classic Editor and Akisment, it's actually quite nice and still better than most other platforms for self-hosting.
- keane 3y agoI appreciated this plugin inventory by Nick Simson: https://nicksimson.com/posts/plugin-inventory-2023/ https://nicksimson.com/posts/plugin-inventory-2023/ There are some high-quality GPL-spirited plugins and themes (like those by Anders Norén https://andersnoren.se/teman/ https://andersnoren.se/teman/ or Oliver Juhas https://www.webmandesign.eu https://www.webmandesign.eu) amid an utter avalanche of SEO cruft so you have to know where to look.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoThanks a lot, didn't know about this one! Seems a lot more helpful than the default, full of very similar ones.
- joshstrange 3y agoIt is _if_ you self-host. Paying wordpress.com has been a crappy experience IMHO. You don't get much for the base tier and you don't get plugins until you pay for a much more expensive tier. I just wanted a place to blog and was tired of managing my ghost self-hosted blog and didn't want to pay for ghost. I ended up having to move up a tier to do basic things (sunk cost) and I blog probably 1-2 times a year if that. Whatever, I've paid up for a year or two now and once that expires I'll re-evaluate.
