One of the main devs has previously admitted that a lot of that money just goes to server costs for .ml. Fuck that shit.

That is a good point. I can see how somone wouldn't want to support the instance with views they don't like.... However.
Dogfooding ones own software is an important part of the development process. So it makes sense they would use it for that.

You mean the instance that tests new updates for bugs before you can leech off of their work?
