$6k per month seems a little excessive. Wonder if rent and other expenses were included in that.

Nope that's just the Azure licensing fees alone, before any server costs or any other costs. Voat's total monthly cost was probably somewhere around $10k

Whew. That's a lot of $$ per [traditional 3-word voat greeting - NKF] With no attempt to even pretend interest in recovering costs. I think we know where some of our tax money is going...
