Post Dial up stress disorder

My internet is shit and if the page doesn't load in 5 seconds I still bail. Be efficient or fuck off.

Back then if it took more then that to load it was because you picked on a piece of media not the homepage.

Nowadays it's them making you download 300MB of JS so they can make images rotate in a gallery.

If it takes longer than 5 seconds now it’s either the server crapping out or a million trackers trying to load. Before if I gave up in 5 seconds it was impatience, now it’s knowing there’s probably no reason to keep trying.

yeah that's called wisdom.

we arose with baud measurement.

now, years later, more data is exchanged in visiting most sites than we know 90% isn't needed for us to interact with the content. we see the poor programmatic considerations for the end user experience. we have paid for broadband experiences and can watch streaming 4k content, so when some annoying text with a few graphics takes long to load fuck no I don't accept that.

Goddess forgive if you don't have an adblocker since those ads will slow websites down to an absolute crawl.

"Press and hold to confirm you're not a robot" no fuck off
