I haven’t looked into their finances specifically, but $327k sounds like how much money they probably make in a 15m window on a Tuesday afternoon.
That's about the same as it costs them to run 30h of 1080p streaming to 100k people.
It's a drop in the bucket, and one they aren't even going to pay.
~~While I believe the sum is a drop in the bucket for them, those numbers sounds like way too much. I'm ready to be proved wrong, just sounds very expensive.~~
~400 mil to stream 30h of video to 100k people? So 40mil to run 3 hours of video to 100k people, so ~13 mil to run 1 hour of video to 100k people, so 130 won to run 1 hour of 1080p video for one person?
130 won = 0,098$
~~Doesn't sound realistic to be honest. I probably misunderstood something here, or you were just exaggerating. Idk.~~
Edit I mistook wons for dollars at first, my bad, fixed sums and now it does look realistic, yes
