Cloud bills

How much do you guys pay on cloud infrastructure?

I am a programmer, I spent 4 months of my free time coding software which will crawl porn from public websites which suck user experience and upload it on my end (all automatic)

I went for a pretty fancy infrastructure, aws, s3 bucket, lambda functions,cdns… all that fancy stuff

It all worked as expected, my cloud data folder is currently 10 tbs and I am paying for each GB of porn viewed.

But… I am barely earning something, I am barely getting traffic on the site, barely earning anything from ads (i went with adsterra and currently earning like 50$ month)

It is very time consuming as I have to advertise and promote the site manually, on top of that I am paying around 300$ / month infra

Any advice? Should I sell the website or keep on going? Any suggestions?

I have posted it for sale here and I am willing to sell if I get a good offer

Couple of options

I've worked around cloud cost using below options for a quite long now,

1. For images/css/js use cloudflare.com. It will save you a ton in terms of bandwidth cost
2. If you have video content best to use a CDN like bunny.net (there are other cheaper options). You can use same for images but cloudflare is cheaper
3. Use cheap VPS as origin storage for content. CDN will take away the disk I/O latency. But have a reliable backup

Basically mix and match cheap delivery channels with reliable services. Have primary website on something like AWS.

I run on,
- aws for primary hosting
- linode for data backup (it's little cheaper for me)
- shinjiru and hetzner for edge storage
- cloudflare for caching site & image content
- bunny for image streaming

since your website is stealing content that wasn't licensed for your use, i'd say sell the site, or at least close it.

gfy is not a safe haven for thieves and pirates.
