I don't think anyone would mind watching a few ads during their content if it meant one stable price for the platform, unlimited accounts, and access to all quaity formats. That sounds pretty fair to me actually, everyone still gets paid and the customers get the content they want. Instead we're forced to believe it's normal to have the rug pulled out from our feet! You pay for a subscripition, then they want extra money for content packages, extra money for &quot;no ads&quot;, extra money for better video and audio quality, extra money for more users, and then every 9 months they raise the prices for everything by a few dollars and remove more features away!!</p>https://a-creative.website/posts/hugo.png/Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000467487@pm.me (Owen Edwards)https://a-creative.website/posts/hugo.png/<p><strong>Self Hosting Made Simple</strong></p> <figure class="insert-image"><img src="https://a-creative.website/posts/hugo.png/hugo.png" alt="The beauty of open source and Github pages" width="700" height="auto"> </figure> <p>Everyone wants a cool website to show off their work or post blogs (like me) but nobody wants to get looped into the endless subsription fees. Most people end up paying a subsription fee to a domain provider, access to cool website templates(if you don't know what you're doing), extra cloud storage, paying for community add-ons, paying for analytics etc. Before you know it your silly website is costing you $80 a month. People assume the only cheap alternative is using a free boring wix website but I'm here to tell you about the beautiful world of Hugo.</p>
