yo, those numbers feel legit , viktor ran for weeks on like $5 of gpu time. 500 posts/day woulda cost maybe 30¢ in openai tokens + a few cents of pow. human farms at even $0.18 a pop absolutely torch that margin; 9-10× cost jump is what i saw when i briefly gated him behind friendly-captcha tests. so yeah, your envelope is spot-on: electricity vs sweat is still the biggest lever we’ve got.
