A Demonstration of Modern Web Bloat

Soydevs are destroying the internet and now preventing me from eating. The internet is becoming so prohibitively bloated that doing very basic normie life things has become a huge affair and inconvenience. I just want to consooom informational content on the internet without being overburdened by trackers, ads, server-side scripting and other trash.

Dev: "No, that's a bad idea, you should make a simple website"
Employer: "Well, you're fired. Hey, John can you make 70mb junk website?"
John: "Yes, sir"

devs in the 90s "we fit a whole 3d revolutionary fps in 100mb"
devs in current year "you need a gigabit internet connection, 32gb of ram, 10tb ssd, rtx2080 and a ryzen to display this text and a picture

[alexthelion]

In the future when internet speeds improve, people will make 1gb sites, I guarantee you.

SoyDevs' law: Every time hardware and network speed in modern computers doubles, the inefficiency of software quadruples

[brycelooms]

These sites arent built by web devs, but by "entrepreneurs", using a web builder, with a template built by a designer, based on advice from other "entrepreneurs".

Default Runescape character rants about how hard it is to look up cooking recipes online.

[jamesm]

The worst is when the publisher of the recipe appends a 3 page introduction about why the recipe is so delicious and how it changed his life blah blah blah instead of just posting the ingredients and directions.

[majohime]

Imagine if sites in google search results were sorted by time that takes to load them.

Luke recorded this video on Feb 19, just took him 4 days to upload it with his bandwidth.

[zac]

I hate it when I look for a recipe and there's like 10 paragraphs about how the author's husband loves the recipe like who asked

[LukeSmithxyz]

The fact these sites make my face buffer for half the video is pathetic. SoyDevs, SAD!

[macaronivirus]

What amazes me most is "share buttons" on every freaking website, devs who put these buttons on their websites must be geniuses.

Even high end gaming machines stutter when loading this kind of websites. I absolutely despise it. I'm a web developer, but my end users are sysadmins, so I'm not told to do all kinds of fancy things with the layout, clutter the thing with ads, trackers and externally loaded comment sections.
I'm so happy that I don't have to deal with it. Mind you, most developers hate putting this in, as much as they hate stumbling upon it on the web. Customers will be customers, unfortunately.

Luke, this reminds me of something that happened a lot at work. Some of the boomers will go to a recipe website and then try to print it out and take it home so they can cook it, these webpages are so big they won't print properly at least not on Windows computers. Instead, they fill up the print spooler memory and crash it. The user is then unable to print anything and they send me a help request since now nothing will print at all because Windows doesn't make it obvious that something has gone wrong. I've also seen times where Windows is able to handle the page, but when it sends it to the printer, and the printer isn't able to handle it because a two page paper is too big for the several MB of onboard memory on the printer. The recipe websites are some of the absolute worst websites on the Internet.

[GrampaSheevie]

I remember learning html as a kid in computer class and after making my first webpages I wondered wtf was wrong with all these web designers who made shittier webpages than me.

[texasrox]

Every recipe page is like that, I just wanna grille and these soydevs are messing up my game.

[CvnDqnrU]

I didn't know what to be more amazed at: the bloat of their websites or their incompetence at developing.
Gradually I began to hate them.

[tehbrainh]

you should write a book about *your struggle*

[cherubinth]

Best are the slow sites blocked with a privacy policy wall, then after accepting fully reloads with a cookie banner, then you get popups that jump in your face while you area reading.
