We think personal blogging should be affordable, and it doesn’t cost much to serve static cached HTML. In the future we may raise prices, but we’re bootstrapped so there’s no pressure to make millions hosting blogs.
We use Lets Encrypt to provide certificates, which is entirely automated.
I write on a simple static Hugo blog running on GitHub pages. I found that anything else makes tinkering too easy, which distracts me from the goal of writing. Writing often is hard enough, and I definitely don't need anything else getting in the way!

I made the platform myself ...
Occasionally contribute to writing/proofreading
I use Etch (https://etch.blog) - a personal blogging platform with a built-in newsletter, custom domains and SSL, and no ads or popups.
I was self-hosting but got sick of dealing with it and founded Etch ;)
