What's the biggest reason you self-host? (alien.top)

This is purely for my own personal curiosity, but what's the main reason you self-host? I say main because I don't know how to allow multiple answers, if that's possible at all. For me it's the last option; because it's cool. If it's none of these reasons, absolutely make additional options in the comments.

@ mods, if this in any way breaks any of the rules or just generally detracts from the sub at all, I'll gladly remove it. Also I didn't flair it because none of the flairs seem to fit.

It can be all those reasons.
