I've used a similar site for DNS and some hosting.

The main reason was having to deal with CSAM and copyright reports, the more common registrars/providers would threaten to pull me if I didn't reply in 24 or 48 hours and eventually I would get kicked off.

I was hosting copyrighted content, I wasn't hosting CSAM but there was legal content involving minors but average provider doesn't care and will argue with you or say it violates their TOS. These shady hosts/registrars just don't care, sure they might vanish one day but if you have backup it's fine.

This is too expensive compared to VPS for lots of personal and hobby use cases or minor side business.

I've seen lots of less experienced people overpay for hetzner and similar when a $5-10 vps would've worked.

Why use SQLite?

My postgres process doesn't come close to using up enough resources to push me out of even the cheap VPS tiers and I don't have to worry about locking if there's a heavy write load.

I made an account on a lark and it's actually nice.

Their image related grouping works way better for the things I'm interested in (art/illustrations) than other sites.

I liked /r/watchpeopledie in a morbid curiosity way.

I must be the opposite. After and during socializing I often feel manic but I terribly shy initially and spend all my time alone.

Drat.
