Impressive. Now, let's see the link in this post to fastcompany.com; It opens a website that also pulls in 6MB using more "server requests" than 169, in fact the number keeps going up, and all it does is display a paywall. So, let's not pretend this is something unique.

If anything, they're ashamed of it - and they only do it because managers and shady SEO types push for that shit. Nor are such bloated pages regarded (or were regarded pre-AI) as anything else than as a symptom of the sickness of modern web practices.
