Hello folks!
Potentially apropos of nothing, and potentially apropos of crowdfunded creativity, but... How much do you think it costs to serve a page of text?
In other words, when you connect to a website and display a page in your browser, how much money do you think you personally are taking out of the pocket of the website owner, taking CPU time and bandwidth cost into account?
A penny? Half a penny? A tenth of a penny? A twentieth? One twenty-fifth? A hundredth?
Don't go Googling or crunching the numbers - I already know the answer. What I want from you is a top-of-the-head estimate or opinion. I know how much it costs for me to display a page; I want to know how much people think it costs. :)
