Infrastructure costs mostly.

I think you should reevaluate your setup then, that doesn’t seem right. Just with your relay or…?
I also run an image host, a translation server for use with Damus and was hosting a per tube instance. Takes quite a bit to host all that.
Hmm even the nostr build guy only pays like $70 per month for that.
Peer tube does transcoding, and translation alone takes an 8 core instance.
I’ve gotten costs down to around $100 monthly, but it was higher previously.
