Just canceled my old web store, which was one of these all in one solutions (think Shopify but not Shopify).

Just canceled my old web store, which was one of these all in one solutions (think Shopify but not Shopify). And it cost $3600 per year. Now running the same store on an open source store software that is better than the paid shop. On a small VPS with 1 core and 8 GB Ram, at a cost of $200 per year.
It is possible to get away from big tech. Just takes a lot of little steps.

@Infrapink @shom @chrokaki I switched to Magento 2, the open source version of Magento Commerce. (Still owned by Adobe, but I am not using their hosting and integration). Lots of add-on modules available from independent programmers. Runs on a VPS by a European provider.
I make a lot of thermocouples, a sort of temperature sensor. For everyone from a hobby potter with a little kiln in the backyard to NASA. A lot for battery labs and EV companies. -

Interestingly, so far as my low-tech self can tell, it looks like the open source version might even be free from Adobe's ai crap?
