There was discussion back when voat died Putt suicided voat. m7 dropped some details if anyone wants to check his comments from Dec./Jan.

He essentially said his costs were a fraction of voats, and far less than I want to say based on memory alone. Voat was 'renting' some kind of software that cost a fortune, while m7 coded around all the expensive stuff.

Point being, m7 has claimed saidit is very cheap to run.

Yep, still true. This site has never cost more than about $90/mo. to run.

Was thinking I remembered him saying around $80, but that seemed absurdly low for this type of site. Still does, actually.

It's a benefit of using 10 year old code that has been heavily optimized. There are drawbacks though as well. Also Cloudflare takes a lot of load off of web sites that use it.
