Neocities must have an interesting story behind it. I seem to remember something about it being part of an effort to salvage Geocities. Has the story been written down somewhere?

Seconded. Their CLI has all you need, even git hooks. Personally I just use `neocities push .`

Thirded.

Use it to host my blog; free tier is good, but I really like them and have really phenomenal limits, etc, so just pay (even though my blog is not updated nearly as much as I'd like)

You are limited to one *.neocities.org site, otherwise it's $60 per year.

I have unlimited neocities subdomains and pay $0 a year. I must be on a discontinued plan, but at one time there was a $100 lifetime offer.

Sounds like the perfect plan. How many of the companies mentioned in this thread will be around in 10 years? I'd bet on neocities.

What makes you think neocities stands out and above?

From what I understand the motivation behind neocities is more political (humanist) than commercial. Also it's fully open-source (the data could easily be hosted anywhere else for cheap). You can read more about their stance on their blog: https://blog.neocities.org/
