This is purely for my own personal curiosity, but what's the main reason you self-host? I say main because I don't know how to allow multiple answers, if that's possible at all. For me it's the last option; because it's cool. If it's none of these reasons, absolutely make additional options in the comments.

@ mods, if this in any way breaks any of the rules or just generally detracts from the sub at all, I'll gladly remove it. Also I didn't flair it because none of the flairs seem to fit.

I'm going to say sort of all of the above, but not just across the whole board. Some services I host because I want a better service than is available elsewhere.

For example I host AdGuard Home and OPNsense because it's better than my ISP supplied router and I get more out of it so that's better service. I host Immich because I don't want to pay Google to store all my photos when I have a server sat here that's quite capable of doing it so that's cost I guess.
