Humanity in general, and the Internet in particular, is pretty bad at creating things that will outlive their founders/users. Ideally, you could just found some site, set it in motion, and just never touch it again, and it will humm along for all of eternity. Unfortunately, things require maintenance or they could fall over next time your VM reboots, and things require payment or the service disappears. Some infrastructure your automation relies on could change out from under you. Your host or domain registrar might make surprise changes to your service. If you're self-hosting, there are a different set of failure modes: Your ISP can take you down, your physical site could lose power, your hardware could fail.
I really don't trust anything to actually outlive me.
