Ask modern web developers/publishers (and/or Adobe); they're the ones that've pushed outrageously heavy multimedia content as the "standard" for relaying fairly basic levels of information. 😵
Just the other I was ranting about what the Internet has turned into. You could sum it up like this: cat videos, memes, idiotic lists, gossip, stuff that's supposed to blow you away (usually just some soppy videos), Flash. Now when I think of it, I kind of miss the simple web from the mid-late nineties...
