- badrequest 7y agoThey don't make that revenue on behalf of the folks who make Wordpress, necessarily
- lexapro 7y agoI'm sure Apple alone has more revenue than all wordpress sites combined. And you can have a lot of revenue while losing money.
- buboard 7y agoYes of course, i should have said “their competitors in sv” Woocommerce users apparently make $10b in revenue, and i doubt they lose much, after all it s free
- tyingq 7y agoRight, but they probably get close to zero from the self-hosted WordPress users. The revenue is from people paying WordPress.com to host their sites. That's the number of users that's relevant, and it's a much smaller number. The self-hosted users that are the majority don't count for much.
