I wonder how AI can disrupt this nasty business by teaching users how they can self-host much of those services and save $$$. Let's face it: for the normies out there, the idea of having "your own iCloud" is still daunting (albeit very much possible).

Can AI level the playing field between users and greedy firms like Apple?

What $$$?! The top tier of apple one is £36.95pm. If I spend 15 mins of time every month extra self hosting then it’s immediately not worth it. (Not to mention self hosting won’t be free).

Also, for that price I get: 2TB cloud storage,Apple TV,Apple Music,news,workouts,arcade most of which cannot be self hosted.

Economies of scale are real, it’s possible Apple makes a ton of money and the user is getting a good deal!
