I have images in almost every post. Diagram, schemas, stock images, gif, anything. I guess you don't?

The difference between $2 and $20 will strike when you start having pictures and with $200 the day you (accidentally) put a large image or GIF.

You can lose money accidentally in many ways. I agree you have to watch out, but still disagree with the number of people dismissing S3 as a quick way to bankruptcy if you get HN #1.

It's because of images and comments, both of which are critical to a blog. There's one request per image no matter what.

Wordpress is actually really good on that, it's resizing the images automatically for thumbnails and mobiles with caching.
