Hosting your own video on your own storage and network bill is not free. If you don’t believe me, go try doing it yourself.

I know this is true but why do I see so many people on lemmy pushing for self-hosting and even talking about it like its some low rent hobby?

It's not exactly an expensive hobby, but it's also not free.

YouTube hosts a lot of videos.

And — by the fundamental theorem of financial calculus that I just made up — "not free" times "a lot" equals "big bucks".
