The joke is a thinly-veiled retort, basically: > Reddit: Apollo costs us $20m a year > Apollo: Well that's a silly number that doesn't add up and you're basic

The joke is a thinly-veiled retort, basically:
> Reddit: Apollo costs us $20m a year
> Apollo: Well that's a silly number that doesn't add up and you're basically comparing me to a DDOS, if I'm just a botnet I guess you can just pay me half that to shut the botnet down.
- Spivak 3y agoAlso Apollo doesn't cost them shit. Unless they're arguing that they lost $20m/yr in ad revenue you can't do the math like that. Reddit users cost Reddit $20m/yr.
- an-allen 3y agoI think they use the language “opportunity cost” which would imply to me its a lost ad revenue figure instead of an infra figure. Its fuzzy math at best.
