And there are also no annoying autoplay videos. That has to help load times too.
I wish companies would understand that if I'm reading something on the web, I want to read it, not be distracted by a video that contains the same or less information and takes longer to watch than the article does to read.

There must be huge numbers of illiterates out their pointing and grunting (like something in Idioctracy) to outweigh all the folks I know, who don't watch videos and don't understand why people would.

That’s 14 percent of the population. 21 percent of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can’t read.
