They decided to chase TikTok and host a shitload of video content. Video storage and delivery is way more expensive than text-only or even text and images.

Congratulations Reddit! You pulled in users with no good way to cover the costs of those users.

Do they even still have these programs? RPAN is dead, despite actually being somewhat different and refreshing.

Every video living at v.reddit.com is eating up storage and bandwidth Reddit has to pay for. Even a relatively small video eats up the storage and bandwidth of hundreds of self text posts and thousands of posts that are just links to some external video.
