I looked up how many questions get posted on Reddit every day and the number is wild
I was reading an article about online communities yesterday and it mentioned a stat from Reddit's own data. They said over 2 million questions get posted across all their forums every single day. I had to check the date because that seemed way too high, but it was from a recent report. It makes you think about how much people want answers for everything. Has anyone else seen stats about what gets asked the most?

Actually, that number seems pretty low to me. Think about how many users and subreddits there are, two million posts is nothing. Most of those are probably just quick, repetitive questions anyway.

Ever consider the data storage cost alone?

Two million posts is low? That's wild. Have you seen some of those giant threads? A single big AMA or game update post can have over a hundred thousand comments by itself. The text from those alone must be huge. Storage for all that isn't just a few hard drives in a closet, it's whole buildings full of servers. How does that math even work?
