Yes and no. For some crazy reason it's easier to run server infrastructure when you're not doing hyper-aggressive data collection and running computationally complex operations to fetch and decide the data to display. It's impressive in the sense that the staff size is in the order of magnitude you would expect given their publicly-visible product. Many companies will brag about their ops staff being big (because they're so great that their system has to scale) or small (because they're so great at building scalable systems), but operate so opaquely you have zero way to judge the impressiveness of the number and you have to trust the opinion of a journalist that doesn't even care to know.
