It has only gotten easier to host your own content or find someone to pay to host your content. Web3 does nothing new here and doesn't actually help. What web3 does is take people's desires for those types of solutions, and turn them into a way to scam people out of money.

If you want to make it even easier to control how your content is hosted, join one of the many open source projects that are building free tools that make things easier.

Edit: While I not the biggest fan of WordPress on a technical level, that piece of open source software has done far more to democratize the ability to host your content on a platform you control than the entire Web3 ecosystem put together.
