I don’t think so. The whole of stackoverflow is run from a single (though quite powerful) machine. Server/operation costs are cheap, employees are the big cost.

I think a donation-based model could trivially finance the service costs.

But anyway Stack overflow is only text, it's an irrelevant comparison.
