The amount of cash Snapchat is throwing at GCloud/AWS according to their recent IPO filings is just insane.

They are the exception for sure, but their platform also supports a tremendous amount of video and that's the real killer for them. This is the same problem that youtube had, video just consumes many times more bandwidth than doing a similar service in text (twitter), or images (instagram). So that's not surprising.

But one exception doesn't make a rule.
