Well that 80% drop in traffic is going to ensure that it doesn't pay any more. They've probably spent millions on infrastructure that will no longer be generating revenue, I imagine they'll see losses while they adjust.
- baggachipz 13y agoStill ~$320,000 per month... nothing to sneeze at there either. I somehow doubt their infrastructure costs anywhere near that.
- MichaelGG 13y agoThis kinda thing seems perfect for elastic computing. They could scaleup the front-end on demand, and use S3 or whatever for actual storage, then aggressively delete older or less popular content. If their traffic drops, just scale down. "Cloud" in this manner seems like a great hedge for sites that rely on somewhat fickle popularity.
