- KronisLV 6y agoWhat about the people who'd just prefer not to waste megabytes of data for loading what could as well be expressed in a few dozen kilobytes of text and some lightweight stylesheets, a la https://thebestmotherfucking.website/ https://thebestmotherfucking.website/ Now, AMP probably isn't the best solution for the problem, as many of the comments and other sources on the Internet do point out, but the website obesity crisis ( https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm ) is probably the actual problem that should be addressed, rather than just attempting to downplay the problem by saying that advances in how fast connections are will make it less annoying. Of course, the technical advancements are nice, but it still feels like some version of Wirth's law ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law ) that's applied to the web, where the pages themselves should just be more lightweight and both drain less battery and consume less power (as well as require less processing power to render, because some of the modern sites are ridiculous in this regard, i can no longer have 50+ tabs open on a device with 4 GB of RAM without using tab suspension plugins).
