- jsmthrowaway 9y agoNo comparison -- I wouldn't buy that either. Just saying they're an eyeball property, with a somewhat moderate write load all things considered. Many billions of page views versus their ~millions DAUs is my gut feeling there, since there are probably far more people reading threads off of Akamai than interacting. Little bit (somewhat outdated) here: http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/8/26/reddit-lessons-learned-from-mistakes-made-scaling-to-1-billi.html http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/8/26/reddit-lessons-lea...
- wolco 9y agoFacebook is recording screen movement and a variety of other logging that reddit wouldn't be recording. User actions like upvoting vs liking per user probably falls in reddits favor but the content being shared on facebook is much larger in size.
- crispytx 9y agoReddit doesn't let people upload videos and pictures to their site. You have to post pictures and videos on other people sites and then link to them. Sort of the same thing with Netflix. Netflix doesn't have a bunch of people uploading stuff to their servers all the time.
- adamors 9y agoReddit allows (and encourages) people to upload images to their site for a year now: https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/4p5dm9/image_hosting_on_reddit/ https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/4p5dm9/image...
