Any Forums images are bottlenecked to 2mb

>On average it only costs $100 /month to host 1 terabyte
>Most ad serving works on a bidding platform so the market floor is probably around $0.10. That means roughly 10 cents for every 1000 impressions.
>Assuming just one display area on a page, you're looking at about $20. The average CPM last year for display ads was about $2.80.
>So theoretically Any Forums should make about $560 / month on display ads

So in theory, Any Forums staff can afford to double the server size and allow sounds on all videos, add more images to posts and probably increase filesize across all boards.

What are your thoughts?

I personally think it's kinda sad Any Forums is only worth the equivalent to 1 PS5 every month to host. Fucking any 2bit entrepreneur could afford that.

>1 PS5 every month to host
gookmoot is 100% jewing us, but im sure that the monthly costs are higher than that. Any Forums has it's own cdn and probably has high network costs. either way, the site developer has mentioned that he does it for free, so that's probably why theres no improvements happening

Live posting would be nice.

don't forget Any Forums passes

>bottlenecked
Stop using words you don't understand, stopped reading right there massive retarded faggot

It's one of those sites that the value is in the popularity and user base, it would be pretty mundane to have a chan with more generous file limits and some 4chanX features baked in but it would be a while before it became popular.

>retards itt dont know how much bw costs at cdn scale

>he does it for free
what a cuck LMAO

>Any Forums has it's own cdn and probably has high network costs
Cloudflare is not owned by gookmoot

That why I posted here retard. What ARE YOUR THOUGHTS
I'm drunk

You may be underestimating what petabytes per day of bandwidth costs.

Who does it for free? Desuwa? Mvb-sama? The latter certainly used to but it's pretty old info at this point.

You people are a huge problem on Any Forums in general, across all boards. You pick a single word and spew vile negativity every chance you get.

Your first error was not accounting the 6mb filesizes on wsg and gif. Also they natural archive so that's even more data wasted. Why can't servers just search an uploaded hash and just link the old upload as the new host link? So many over reposted webms and pngs from the most popular boards it would drop data usage by 30% at least.

The main cost is bandwidth not storage
But he could definitely enable AV1 and webp then reduce the filesize limits to half if he cared. The board quality would improve even at half file sizes if we were allowed to use modern codecs

wtf you can browse this site for free??? Why did I pay 20 bucks for that????

what a good fucking idea

It does not even support WebP or IPV6. Fucking Futaba has support for that and MP4 and sound streams on WebM.

FoolFuuka does that

IPFS could fix this but it'll never take off because it's in browser's best interest to remain centralised.

If web browsers supported IPFS natively then could have linked to /ipfs/Qmde7CgSnqH2vptAVD6akbuJgJx4Djvu8Aupm9xiDDquYT instead.

No data would be downloaded if you already had the file and Any Forums could pay less for hosting costs since it can be fetched over the p2p network instead of their servers if somebody else already has a copy of it.

bw costs at 1000x the storage costs are bare min, in my experiences. at least at that scale, can only imagine the cf bill and dc bills of it. probably 50k a month if you cull every mobile user. likely 75k to 100k depending on board post rate. higher ppm means less cdn cache bw savings.

>ipfs
lol no, bittorrent v2 would be far more viable, both are not in any way.
