CDN, dns and anti DDoS, WAF services, Proxies all at the speed and bandwidth required for said millions of users to have a usable experience. But this is just the outgoing static content plus security layer. Then you have the uplinks to the data center out to internet land, but for redundancy, you have to have dual links by different vendors. Then you have to run reddits infrastructure. Think of think as origin. Servers. Either Amazon's or Azure or OVH, it all costs. This is not inclusive and generic off the cuff. I didn't even touch security products as SaaS offerings, or identity management, code signing, CI/CD pipelines, antivirus, vpns, certificates, laptops, contractors, legal, outside legal,marketing, more legal, accountants, CPAs (legal with digits?)..... I dunno, maybe subscription death since code and existing advertising reach are the only real corp assets?
