How come Reddit’s hosting costs are so high?

Presumably the volume of traffic their servers need to handle?

One database call is pretty lightweight, but millions a second add up to some serious processing. Which, presumably, needs a lot of servers.

Stackoverflow and Hackernews have very low hosting costs. Reddit is serving text, which is incredibly cheap.

Stackoverflow and Hackernews have very low hosting costs.

Sure, but are they handling the volume of traffic that Reddit does (or did until yesterday)?

Stackoverflow, probably not. Stack Exchange, possibly
