I feel like I've seen this exact conversation popping up on Reddit a few times now.
So, I have a couple of questions for everyone who keeps suggesting this:
1. How much do you guys honestly think it would cost to get the kind of high-end hosting required to make a site like this absolutely fly?
2. What kind of revenue do you think Reddit actually pulls in from its ad placements?
Given how often these ideas come up, it seems like the people proposing them might believe the hosting costs actually outweigh the ad revenue. I'm just curious—what makes you all think that?
