The NYT has photographs. Moby Dick with photographs would use more bytes. Moby Dick doesn't use photographs, because the user has to do all the work to create the images. NYT does what users want, trading cheap bytes to save human processing time.

The source of most megabytes visiting a website eats is the stylesheets and the JS the site itself loads, and then what these in turn load from third parties for tracking, analytics, ads, &c, and the constant communication all these scripts do with numerous servers. For most big sites, watching the network connection log using the developer tools is an enlightening experience.
