    Server costs? I mean for a media serving website at this scale you need the servers, storage, people to run the servers, people to development the website, fix bugs, keep on top of security. If you had a very talented team that was very lean, and each member of which can wear multiple hats to reduce headcount, you’re talking $400-$600,000 a year just in salaries. Thats before you consider taxes, benefits, etc.

    Do you think bandcamp is run by like one guy renting bargain bin shared cpu servers from AWS?

      The most entitled people are CEOs and right after them it’s people who think everything on the internet should be free and without ads.
