And self hosting can also be cheaper, unless you're a huge consumer of the service. How many people watch enough Netflix to make the sub cheaper than buying the media instead? We cancelled Disney Plus and bought the few series they like and we've already saved money.

Economies of scale are absolutely a thing, but I think there's a sweet spot where self hosting can be cheaper for a lot of people.
