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.

@carstenfranke@mastodon.social care to name the European provider you use to host the software? Curious as to alternatives to the big 3 US cloud providers
