That web page is 24MB and took over 11s to load on a gigabit connection and fast PC, to show some text with a font that I find very hard to read.

87 individual .js files !

24MB to read some text written by an LLM just makes me sad about the current state of things. Especially since it reads like it was written by one, with the buzzwords and run on sentences that don't always make sense.

I'd rather read someones opinions and thoughts as they wrote them, even if that means it's harder to understand or has less content.
