HTML/CSS are fine, as is javascript, but yeah I don't understand why web pages get bigger and bigger and bigger and slower. Just because we have more bandwidth, I don't know why we have to chew through with ever more complicated webpages. I get stuff like slack or gmail, but showing a company webpage? Why does that take 10 seconds to download and render?

I do not subscribe to the view that it is all just collectively worse because we are cooperatively moving things away from our preferences. I use ancient hardware. I wish the web was much lighter. That said, I do not see the fact that it ( and everything in computing ) keep becomes more and more resource intensive as evidence if some kind of incompetence or collective failure. It just means I represent too little demand to dictate the supply.
