How come Reddit's hosting costs are so high? It's a content aggregator so mostly directs to other sites. While for original content, it used to rely on Imgur for hosting images, does it not anymore? And text content shouldn't use that much resources or maybe I'm wrong?

They still have to host users, feeds, and comments which can add up very quickly. Also, they do host some images as well like when people upload to them.

Worth noting that for the 11 years, Reddit didn't host any images.

It's hard to say why Reddit thought it was necessary to host their own images.

A lot of older image content has rotted because it's no longer hosted by the third party.
