Comment on Classic Usenet posts on computer architecture, operating systems and languagesparent

Comments

A parallel copy of Usenet is used for piracy, with a posting volume measured in double-digit gigabits per second. It can probably handle Reddit.

That's regarding the size of the entries, not the frequency though. Many small comments in a short time frame will have a huge overhead.

Also, there is a reason why binary content was first frowned upon, then became essentially a paid feature. It's expensive.
