The internet is more than just internet businesses. It costs me 70€ per year (paid in small monthly installments) to run a site to share my thoughts and info & tips related to hobbies. I don't need ads & tracking, donations nor any other form of monetization to run the site.

...and in some countries, those costs (assuming hobbies have any alignment with work skills) can be reclaimed via tax reclamation as well.

Apart from that, self-hosting is even cheaper, and easier, than ever.
