   Thanks but that just does backup. I have a domain I use with google apps. I'd like to move that to a non-ad-driven email server that doesn't mine/sell my data and preferably that I can own.

   Yes, a lot of the big subreddits have whitelists that your site has to get on by being popular--kind of a catch 22.

   A high traffic image sharing site can actually be pretty cheap to run. Cloudflare gives you an unlimited bandwidth CDN and incoming bandwidth to S3 is free (uploads can be done directly from the browser). Source: I help run https:/&#x

   They make money by showing ads that get millions of views per day and most likely selling information about their users.

   There's a high end bakery in the mission called Tartine where people queue up every day to buy $13 loaves of bread. I could never justify the expense but from the line outside I'd say there are definitely a lot of people in SF who

    Darn. Like half of them are from me because I wanted to answer people's questions... certainly not controversial. :(

    Wow, thanks I had no idea. That's super useful.

    So, $/views isn't a simple calculation because it depends on the quality of traffic. Basically I just look at my adsense account every day and divvy that between users.

    I agree with you but I'm also super confused by that. Imgur does the same thing but their cut is 100%.

    Thanks for the tip, we'll look into it.

    Yeah, the first time it loads at a certain size it makes a resized copy so that's probably the lag you're seeing. I'll update so it does the resizing on image upload and see how fast we can make it. Thanks for trying it out!

    So that's one of those gray areas that all user generated content sites have to deal with. For now I think we're (perhaps naively) thinking that we're protected the same way youtube, facebook, or imgur is from being liable fo

    Hmm, that may be a problem with the image-resize server we're using [1]. We'll take a look ASAP. Sorry about that. [1]: https://github.com/jimmynicol/image-resizer

    If it takes off and becomes expensive to run we'll take a cut but right now we're just distributing all the adsense rev to users.

    Yeah, it's basically our first stab at making an imgur like site with distributed ownership. We're aiming mostly at the reddit crowd right now but they seem to be VERY loyal to imgur so we'll see how that pans out. Thanks for

    Hey guys. I worked on this with a couple of friends. We were looking at the number of views posts on the front page of reddit get and trying to calculate ad revenue generated by this stuff. It seems crazy that top redditors can drive like 1

    You know you can write code with race conditions with nodejs too though, right? 2 callbacks called in the same closure can modify the same variable. I love node but after correcting many, many errors like this in intern code I question whet
