No, AWS instances of the RAM specs that Steemit needs cost a fortune (per month!). The majority of that 800K would have been going to AWS costs I’d say. Personally, I was a little surprised to find out that Steemit were running their nodes on AWS. They could have built their own dedicated facility with a ton of high-spec’d servers and multiple redundant Internet connections for that kind of money.
