That last sentence is so damned true.
Comment on Would the internet be significantly faster if there wasn't so much farming of metadata / cookies?

Web pages of today have so much added on nonsense. It’s not necessarily data farming, but also the frameworks used to develop the website themselves. Modern websites are basically entire software running in the browser even when it is used to run a simple seemingly static page. The purpose of these frameworks is to make complex things more simple for developers to make, but then people end up using them in situations that might not call for it. I think there is a general belief that since computers keep getting more powerful that it is fine to keep making software bigger and less efficient.

On a slightly less satire-y level, I enjoy using plaintextsports.com when discussing sportsball. Loads quick, without a lot of nonsense. It is quite hilarious how long it takes for someone to load up and find up to date info on, say, espn or the local newsstaion site.

I checked it out, pretty lightweight. It’s funny, when you click on a game to go to the website it’s hosted on it’s a night-and-day experience of slow loading due to cookie permissions, video players loading/playing, etc.

And I read every single word on that page.
Motherfucker.
