I want to create a website / app one day
while I have some experience with coding
I have no knowledge of how each expense would compare for a tech company
for example, FB/YT
(closest to the sort of site I would want to run)
of the following expenses
how would you guess they rank in terms of size or % of total costs?
(doesn't have to be both FB / YT, just one is fine)
>wages
>research / development / acquisitions
>marketing
>storage
>bandwidth
ik you'll probably just be guessing, which is ok
I'm just interested to hear what you all think
thanks

in case I didn't properly explain myself,
here's an example of what i mean
Snapchat - guessing the order and % of each expense
>R/D and acquisitions (40%)
Since they're getting their asses kicked by FB / all their various acquisitions,
they're probably shovelling most of their money into buying up new technologies that FB doesn't have (yet)
>bandwidth (20%)
~9000 snaps a second, but since SC scales down any files you send
it's probably not costing them that much
>wages (15%)
no real clue honestly, they're adding a lot of features lately so this is my best guess
>storage (5%)
because the content is so short lived I'm guessing they're spending practically nothing on this
>marketing (1%?)
Never seen an ad for Snapchat but they're probably spending a little money here and there
this isn't a comprehensive list of expenses,
I'm deliberately leaving 19% for other misc expenses I didn't mention
