>It's fascinating how much of a double-edged sword growth is for websites.
>Naturally you want your website be successful and take off. But if you get (un)lucky, it's possible for your website to grow too big for its own good and collapse under its own weight.

>Take the sharty for example.
>Right now it's a decent size I guess.
>But if 100k additional posters appeared out of nowhere tomorrow, the site would be FUCKED beyond repair. Even if they were all good posters.
>Dunbar's number would kick in and all sense of community would evaporate.

>All the boards would become unbearable to use because of how high the PPH would be.
>I hate the behavioural analysis based personal feeds in use by all the big social media sites and think they're evil but they're also necessary for sites that big to remain usable.
>If you tried to sort twitter posts by newest first with zero filtering like an imageboard it'd be completely unusable because of how many posts are made every second.

>There's also the financial aspect of more people leading to more server load leading to higher bills.
>For a monetized site that's no problem as long as the cash flow scales with user count but I can imagine it being a problem for sites that make no money whatsoever.

>How would you even deal with your site becoming too big for its own good?
>I don't really see a solution other than banning tons of random people.
