Medium is only marginally better than Facebook but there is little wrong with a wordpress or blogspot blog so long as you are prepared to accept their limitations and the fact you are giving up some control over how your content is used.
I host my blog on a Digital Ocean droplet with a total cost of $90 spread out over 12 months. I realize that not everyone has disposable income or the time but this is a very cheap hobby even with the massive overkill of a whole droplet. And this is not even the cheapest way to host, you can get much cheaper shared hosting for almost free for smaller static sites.
