We need to create a measure of web page size that, like wire gauge, is a smaller number the bigger the size. Call it "performance index" or something like that.
Then disparage the small number earned by bloated sites and demand bigger numbers. Brag about the big numbers you achieve and charge more.
We aren't smart. Not smarter than the people who made the last few thousand years of history, anyway. We're the same dumb animals that are attracted to bigger everything even when it otherwise negatively impacts our own personal quality of life.
