Apparently serving HTML + other static content is more expensive than ever, probably because people go the most expensive routes for hosting their content. Then they complain about bots making their websites cost $100/month to host, when they could have thrown up Nginx/Caddy on a $10/month VPS and basically get the same thing, except they would need to learn server maintenance too, so obviously outside the question.

I think this is way too true, unfortunately.

I will say this again, but I think lowering the barrier to entry has created more problems or issues than it solved, if it even solved anything.
