I have heard others agree with you, saying that the operating costs in social media are indeed very high.
I am not tech or media savvy, nor am I all that interested in the process, but I still wonder WHY? Why, in the day and age where we can mass produce so many things at very low cost (before mark up) would the costs of creating and maintaining a media forum be stratospheric?
I’m thinking someone must have a MONOPOLY on certain services everybody needs to get started. Who is it?

Is it a matter of fees, licenses and permits?
The image of that elderly bearded black guy saying
“The Rent Is Too Damn High!!” comes to mind.

**I don’t expect you. FIDO to answer everything. It’s just been on my mind, and I have no way to get a CONCISE answer that doesn’t become overwhelmingly technical.
