Yeah, I went to HN after the third web page didn't work. I am not just worried about the single point of failure, I am much more worried about this centralization eventually shaping the future standards of the web and making it de facto impossible to self-host anything.

Well that and the fact that when 99% goes through a central party, then that central party will be very interesting for authoritarian governments to apply sweeping censorship rules to.

It is already nearly impossible/very expensive in my country to be able to get a public IP address (Even IPv6) which you could host on. World is heavily moving towards centrally dependant on these big Cloud providers.

What part of the world has any ipv6 limitations? In the USA An ISP will give you a /48 from their /32 if you have any colo arrangement without even a blink. That gives you 2^16 networks with essentially infinite number of hosts on each network. Zero additional charge.
