    Well there is also human cost for development, PR etc, which also probably costs a lot

      That would be where that 10 mil figure would have come from.

        No. $10mm/year for cloud spend is totally reasonable for a website the size of reddit. Honestly it’s lower then I would expect.

      I’ll admit I’m not entirely well versed in this, but what development? Is the API being continually worked on? I’d imagined it was relatively stable, especially given how awful Reddit has traditionally been with any kind of feature development.

      Hell, they couldn’t even make their own app, they had to buy Alien Blue and then drive it into the ground for $$$

      Yeah, is not the cost he’s charging 3rd party, it’s the expected lost ad revenue.
