Have to be honest, while I like the concept of these services, I've never really found the motivation to use them. If I'd came across Neocities in the 90s or 00s I'd have been all over it, but it's hard to justify today when I'm already paying for web hosting elsewhere. It's like, if a more powerful solution exists elsewhere, I struggle to work within the limitations of a more restrictive one.

- flyingshelf 3mo agoYou said it yourself: you're already paying. Lots of people don't want to pay, so they use this for their hobby.
- skrebbel 3mo agoYou're not the target audience. My son is 13 and has his own website, started to learn HTML when he was 11. All I did was tell him about Neocities (and allow him to sign up) and he figured out the rest.
- zeeZ 3mo agoThis is very similar to how I started out almost thirty years ago. Static files, a complicated JavaScript navigation, maybe even entirely flash based! Not everyone needs a hyperscaler!
- j45 3mo agoThe majority of folks won't be setting up their own web-hosting, and this can fit them. We have to remember that everything doesn't have to be for everyone to be valid or reasonable.
