Reading through https://justingarrison.com/blog/2023-04-24-mastodon-is-doomed/ and I agree with nearly everything written here, I just draw different conclusions.

Operating internet services is _extremely_ expensive. Costs have been swept under the rug due to the success of advertising as a funding model. It's bizarre to me how we talk about cost of primarily community developed services when we don't talk like this at all about VC-funded software or services.
