What's the biggest reason you self-host? (alien.top)

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.

Voted privacy - but more importantly (and not listed) "My services wont disappear with little or no notice"

    Funny, that's usually my biggest reason not to self host something. If my server pi dies, I don't want to lose anything important.

    Of course, I have backups, but restoration is a hassle.
