View submission: Lets talk about those API calls
Except imgur isn't profitable, doesn't have the same amount of monetization as Reddit has achieved per user (the price is not just the price of the cost, its the price of the profits+opportunity cost+infra cost).
Imgur is investor funded.
Imgur nearly went bankrupt 2 years ago.
Imgur doesn't have nearly as complicated an infrastructure or scaling problems as Reddit because they are vastly different products and user bases.
This comparison is confidently incorrect in so many ways about the reality of what things cost.
There's nothing here!
