The real test is if it can support that user count. How much will it cost to run it, how much data would that consume? Someone has to pay for the servers and donations might not cut it.

I used Imgur to browse memes for a while. Started after they had just launched and witnessed them grow, then sell out. Ads increased every step of the way, to the point where there were ads while scrolling comments. I hope we’re not headed that way but feel as though it’s almost unavoidable.
