> I'm OK with the trade off, since I'd much rather improve the experience for those who pay through their nose for mobile bandwidth. I know that your heart is in the right place, but I believe that you're making the wrong decision. I suppose it's one thing if each image is also a link to the high-res source (although I wonder why suitably-scaled images can't be served to everyone), and if the images are irrelevant to your text. But particularly if there is no way for clients without JavaScript to see images, then I think you're breaking the web. I think that JavaScript disabling will become more and more common as advertising and tracking becomes more and more intrusive. A client who enables JavaScript disables security, disables privacy and disables performance.
