Summoning my inner "grumpy old man" but the lack of (or evolved?) Web
standards produce webpages congested with large advertisements, embedded
videos, etc that aren't useful for the site. I don't know what the average
size is these days but seems pretty ridiculous. That and the number of
trackers, my system ends up sending data to 12 websites just to view
something of moderate interest.
Similar to unoptimized programming and games, I don't see why there are
20gb patches (I assume just uncompressed videos) but there are probably
some honest answers like 3d models. It just feels like unnecessary bloat.
