Not bad. I’d like to see it grow to at least 500K. Reddit got too big when they became mainstream about 5 years ago. Was a good size twelve years ago when I first joined.

Will be nice to see a wave of Apollo users come over now their app has stopped working.

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.
