      It’s not even close. Text and image content doesn’t come near what YouTube has to deal with.

      Reddit does have video, lemmy (at least for now) doesn’t, and I’m sure a huge part of that is cost.

      Eh, lemmy -> reddit is not without scaling issues, but reddit doesn’t upload 10s of terabytes of video every day, much smaller infrastructure required than youtube.
