        Amazon S3 for thumbnail and uploaded files storage.

Well probably several reasons.

The biggest one is likely SMH is full of images, videos and other media. It also has a lot of ads (I wouldn't know with adblocker). Also likely has quite a bit more traffic.

Basically the purpose of the two sites is vastly different and therefore they both have different things to display.

Lack of images and videos

But aren't there more active people on reddit? This would use more system resources.

Censorship. Mods work hard on those here.

You obviously did not visit OzBargain during the Black Friday weekend.

Because the architecture doesn't have an ouch of Microsoft software (or hardware, aka Azure).
- TEER3X on 23/12/2019 - 20:10
  
  On a scale of 1 to 10, how much pain do you feel when using Microsoft software, with 1 being little to no pain at all and 10 being extreme pain?
  - Zaxxon on 23/12/2019 - 21:28
    
    it's a love hate relationship. Average it out it would probably be a 6. If I had my time again I would have been a Python, java, aws guy. Too late now.

      Never too late
