I should have been more clear on the terminology - 50K URLs. Which doesn't always mean 50K posts or pages, but those plus all your taxonomy pages plus all your pagination pages. A 10K post or page site can give you 50K URLs pretty easily if it uses taxonomies and pagination.

My case might be unique where the site is being built at the end of a pipeline that sorts through millions of rows of data and gives you the content you want based on your filters, but it's honestly not difficult to get to 50K URLs for many sites that have some age on them.

I would say a 10k page or post site is also very rare.

Seems to me like every newspaper would accumulate 10k pages within a year or two?

I think static generators are mostly used for personal blogs or pages, but I'd love to hear about newspapers that use them!

Nah, you'd be wrong. I use a password protected static site as my knowledge dump. I accumulate 1000s of posts in months.

You doing it is not the definition of ‘not rare’ :P

I think the conversation here is getting a little sidetracked :)
