Tumblr has an army of content creator that work for free. It is a site that host text and images. How they even spend 30 million per year? Maybe on organizing "stuff convention", SF real estate and so on... Cut the bloat!
- mpixel 3y agoThey don't spend 30 million per year, they spend 30 million over what they generate. I don't think they'd generate peanuts so as to not even cover hardware costs.
- throw932490 3y ago> they spend 30 million over what they generate That is my point. I do not understand how they total costs can be over 30M. It is mostly static content that begs for CDN cache. It is also not mission critical.
- crummy 3y agoProbably they do a lot of content moderation, which takes human beings at least at some stage.
