That's just too bad. I've been creating web services for free since 2000 and just gave up once I realized that the web is innately commercial and bad for users. No matter what I do is just at odds with the fact that I have to host

They essentially made the internet unusable for Tor users. If you either got lucky or sat there for 5 minutes (that's 300 seconds), you could make it onto a website. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34181351 Ri
