Article is correct but kind of low effort. Web slow from too much JS and self serving framework vendors, got it.

Most of the web now is like that article.

AI has a role in turning pages and pages of text into one sentence.

It took me 3 hours to think and write that article. Maybe you wouldn't call it AI generated if it was actually AI generated.

I appreciate you taking time out to write that. I enjoyed reading it, I think what the parent comment was trying to offer as criticism is that it ended sort of abruptly. I was hoping for a couple more paragraphs on either examples of modern sites or platforms that don’t overly rely on js or a way for end users to use these sites loading only the bare minimum js.

I could just google that information but I was enjoying your point of view. Anyway that’s just my 2 cents

Thanks! You're right, I should have given some examples like reddit.com is too slow on low end hardware, and how amazon.com loads faster than aliexpress.com for not relying too much on JavaScript. But I thought anyone could 'sense' which website has more javascript, but I was wrong.

Right now it's generally used the other way round.

Much like conservatives think someone who talks a lot with conviction is right.

Only if what they're saying is bigoted or a scam.
