I used to work for the companies that build these bloated websites. I spent a year rebuilding the BBC News front page to make it not-awful[1] but it felt like I was fighting against the rising tide.
I've since moved on and now work at SpeedCurve. It's pretty motivating to see so many of our customers making their websites faster and generally better for the people who use them. It's also pretty depressing to know that the web overall is spiralling down the drain and getting heavier slower every year[2]. What a shit show.
