The reason I have things set up to deploy from github to Netlify is mainly because I'm not the only contributor to things I work on. As soon as you work in a team it's far simpler to have a central service that people push to doing the builds, especially if you don't want contributors to have access to the host server.
I'm not questioning the scenario where you have multiple contributors. This is one of the major reasons why the concept of ci/cd exists.
The topic of the thread is __specifically__ personal blogs/pages and my point is as strong as ever: having to deal with builds, cis, for your personal page is pure bs.
