I grew up during the dial up era of internet and remember how insane it was each time the technology improved, broadband, dsl, fiber etc.

I wouldn’t expect pages to instantly load, but I have to imagine all the data farming is causing sites to be extremely bogged down.

    On a slightly less satire-y level, I enjoy using plaintextsports.com when discussing sportsball. Loads quick, without a lot of nonsense. It is quite hilarious how long it takes for someone to load up and find up to date info on, say, espn or the local newsstaion site.

      I checked it out, pretty lightweight. It’s funny, when you click on a game to go to the website it’s hosted on it’s a night-and-day experience of slow loading due to cookie permissions, video players loading/playing, etc.
