> 2,838 Terabytes per month

I didn't realize it was so big.

Does anyone have comparison points with other services such as Facebook or Reddit?



reddit is significantly smaller bandwidth-wise than 4chan. reddit doesn't host images. I don't remember exactly but when I left 4 years ago it was only single digit terabytes of outbound bandwidth.


Here is a slightly newer (although still quite old) answer from rram, peak of 924.21 Mbit/sec.

In 2009 Facebook did 25TB/week in just photos, and I imagine it's significantly higher now (particularly with Instagram added).
