    Didn’t they come out and say early on when they firsr introduced rewards that they’d made enough money to cover their server costs for many decades? Whatever happened with all that?

      Did they? Do you have a link to that? I’d be very interested in that. The whole situation is so bizarre

        Maybe it covered their costs for old school reddit pre built in image/video hosting when it was essentially just text and thumbnails?

        Now that they’re no longer relying on imgur (which is doing it’s own thing) they have to host their own images which is EXPENSIVE.

        I think it used to say on people’s profiles something like “This user’s gold has paid for x hours of server time”
