Amen. I wish more developers realized that without deliberate effort, minification == obfuscation.
I've written small custom scripts to reformat and enhance redfin's data when I was househunting, to declutter (read: adblock) pinterest, etc etc.
Navigating markup is a nightmare when each node has 10 minified classes with no obvious meaning, and such frequent overlap that it's difficult to infer from usage alone. And that's before the weekly rotation.
