Yes, what I've been saying is that we're moving back to where we were 20 years ago. We're moving back to a hosting model where you can not completely rely on any hosting company to get the job done.
Big tech companies changed things a lot, and developed very sophisticated infrastructure that we could not compete with.
Nobody could compete with YouTube for awhile. But now, YouTube has made itself so unreliable, that people are forced to find new video hosting services, and people will put up with slower speeds for more reliability.

That's become my mantra about anonymization: that you can't trust any one system/provider, so it's prudent to distribute trust. Basically, what Chaum said, so many years ago.
But that's harder with hosting. Sure, if you lease a ___domain, you can easily point to different IPs. But then, what happens if you lose the ___domain?
And for people who don't lease domains, how will your followers find your other sites? Once the one they were hitting is gone, I mean. Some will bookmark all of them, for sure. But not most, I bet. Search services would help, but I suspect that'd be iffy.
