The revenue per minute of these sites is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. While that can be budgeted for if needed, its not just inconvenient for users, it could mean missing a revenue target.
- jzwinck 7y agoI don't think Reddit grosses a hundred billion USD per year. Do you? That would put it very close to Microsoft.
- reilly3000 7y agoRight. Reddit's ad revenue is forecasted at 100M this year, so ~$190/min. I was more referring to Facebook's $65B annual revenue, which is $123,668 / min. That's like an FTE's annual salary each minute, so throwing people at uptime has lots of ROI.
- manigandham 7y agoNo site is that high other than Google or Facebook. Reddit is actually pretty poor in revenue generated and can easily make up for lost inventory with more ads on the page.
