My brother says you only should hide your data if you are a criminal or something.

To be fair, self-hosting is more difficult and less secure.
The thing is though, many like to put in an effort and no one cares to hack your server, unlike something like Google.
Lol.
It’s about 1000x easier to configure your server on your own than trying to work through some VPS frontend.
Configure your server as in “install software on any random PC and forward ports”? Sure.
As in “make it all secure and reliable”…much more complicated.
It is more difficult, but it is not inherently less secure if you put in the time and effort to learn what’s what and how to properly secure it.
Fair, but it takes much more than the average home selfhoster’s level of competence.
Agreed. It’s a commitment for sure, and most people are not willing to, or just can’t.
