Personally, I prefer my to host my own blog over Medium/Substack/other large "article hosting" sites because I have clear understanding over how my content is used. In recent years I have grown pretty wary of content platforms and how they may monetise or otherwise use your content.
I'm not about to pretend I am the next Bruce Schneier or Brian Krebs, and I can probably count the number of visitors to my site in a month on my hands, but I am happy in being able to write the content I want and put it somewhere I can trust.
