I would like to host simple texts. I don't intent to start a magazine, and so I find that the benefits of self-hosting doesn't justify the hassle.

What options do I have? I don't like Medium as they some times (?) paywall it, push for sign-ups etc. I've been hearing about Substack, but I just had a look and its headline is "start a paid newsletter" - I don't really want to start a newsletter, or sell my publications.

I would accept ads, although everything else being equal I would prefer without, of course.

So, what are the alternatives and how do they compare?
