    by my research. A single server of sufficient power could easily serve thousands of users.

    That’s some shitty research you’ve done then.

    1000 users streaming something that’s 5mbps would be 5gbps.

    5gbps isn’t common for consumers… and costs a lot in a datacenter (about 4k/month on the cheaper end).

      Buddy, do you not know how periods work? That’s 2 different sentences you’ve mashed together and pretended they were one.

      Secondly, I didn’t say simultaneously.

        I do know how sentences work. I also know that paragraphs and posts sound be related to each other. Your sentences are not completely divorced from each other.

        The point was that you’re claiming to do research on something just to turn around and say something that WILDLY wrong. This discredits any amount of research you would have done.

        Doesn’t matter if you say simultaneously or not. You said THOUSANDS… I showed you just 1000. And this was ONLY looking at bandwidth. Not actual server costs.

          I claimed to do research on something very specific. If you have evidence to the contrary, please feel free to prove me wrong instead of just intentionally misrepresenting my statement.

          Doesn’t matter if you say simultaneously or not.

          …of course it does? A thousand simultaneous streams is not going to have the same load as a dozen…

          You said THOUSANDS… I showed you just 1000.

          “Thousands” can mean 1001 or 9999. I’m not sure why you seem to be assuming the latter.

            So now you’ve backed down from “thousands of users” to a dozen?

            If you have THOUSANDS OF USERS (your words)… you should probably at least plan for 1000 concurrents, probably more (remember you have to plan for peaks, not average).

            You seem to be missing this repeatedly… I’m not sure how else to present it to you. You made the claim that a decent singular server should be able to host THOUSANDS (with an S… so multiple thousands.) I’m showing you that even if it’s just 1000 concurrents, you’re paying a heavy cost JUST for bandwidth… forget the server. You’re over your head if you think a single server is doing this shit.

            I run a plex instance, I have 8gbps internet to my house. I could host probably 80-100 simultaneous streams on that bandwidth of raw blurays. My servers could not handle that load simultaneously (and they’re hooked up as 40gbps internally). If bandwidth is the easy side of this equation (it is)… and your assertions are already failing… Then you’re just plain wrong.

              You continue to engage in bad faith strawman arguments and try to misrepresent my statements, even after I’ve already clarified them, so I have no interest in continuing this discussion.

                I haven’t bad faithed anything… You clearly don’t understand how hosting a service works, in the case of “thousands of users” 1000 active is a hard lowball.

                You’ve clarified nothing. You constantly moved goalposts and pushed random “facts” like those statements changed anything about the original premise you presented and my response to it. You started with “THOUSANDS OF USERS”. Then backed down to 12 two posts later.

                THOUSANDS OF USERS -> Okay so let’s take a case of 1000 active users…

                UH UH, I didn’t say simultaneous!!! -> Good thing I only took a case of 1000 active users then… BTW we’re not even looking at server costs for processing, just raw bandwidth.

                Uh Uh, What about 12 users!!! -> (we are here).

                You need help dude. Nobody is coming after you. And nobody misrepresented you. You’re just completely out of your depth, which is okay. But don’t act like somebody is misrepresenting you, the world can read your responses.
