"Error establishing a database connection"
In 2020, you would expect websites not to require a database connection for main views - or at least support a degraded mode (tracking off...).

It's a feature not a bug that we all have different skills. I certainly do not want to discourage others from sharing their opinions due to technical issues that could be resolved more easily by developers (through their implementation and documentation) as much if not more than end users in a given situation.
As @pepemon points out, the free tier of CloudFlare is probably sufficient and most of the non-tech people running their own variant of WP I know of stopped after being attacked (successfully...) by bots at some point. If you lack tech skills, I think it's best to go to wix, squarespace etc. anyway but platforms are definitely not a requirement and you'd be surprised by the amount of (again non-tech) people who can learn to use a static site generator (with premade theme) and host it using vercel or even S3. At some point, if you want to spread a message, it's worth learning how to do it.
Well, I mean, you can front the blog with Cloudflare using their wizard for free without any technical knowledge. What kind of DevOps magic do you need there?
I do imagine that this particular issue is causing the author of the post anxiety due to it's unforseen (to them) failure. I'd prefer the computer not discourage them.
