Do writers actually want data ownership — or just complain about platforms?

Many writers say they don’t trust platforms.

They complain about:
• Vendor lock-in
• Platforms owning their content
• Sudden shutdown risks
• Algorithmic feeds cheapening their writing

So I built FranzKafka.xyz around a simple idea:

You connect your own database.

Bring Your Own Database. Your Supabase. Your backend. Your data.

No lock-in. No hostage situation. You can unplug anytime.

But here’s the real question:

Do people actually want ownership?

Or are we more comfortable complaining about platforms than taking responsibility for our own infrastructure?

Would love honest opinions —
Is data sovereignty something writers will adopt?
Or is convenience always going to win?
