What we need to counter this insane trend toward unnecessary graphical representations, is to double down on a plain-text knowledge graph version of the Internet. Something that is completely devoid of formatting, with only semantic markup (hyperlinks, emphasis etc). Something that is composed of small, single-purpose units of text smaller than current "documents" or pages. Something that can be fetched, composed and rendered entirely based on the client application's requirements (yes, I'm familiar with Xanadu).
