If they want to grow and take on Reddit refugees there is no way they can do that if they are worrying about a $16/month server or $68/month server. They are going to require much more than that and if people are constantly waiting for content to load they will just go somewhere else; which lets be honest that means they will probably go back to Reddit.

I don't think they want to grow in that sense. And since this stuff is federated, you can use any other instance to subscribe to and interact with your subs.
