But you can optimize those things. Google's current logo is now 305 bytes. Also there's caching. The internet is not built on proof of work.

That's a perfect example of the trend I tried to describe. "Let's download it every 12 hours but optimize that shrinking the file size to just 305 bytes and caching it on the CDN". For a logo that hasn't changed since before the app was first developed.
But I think you weren't interested in an answer like that, right? You wanted to criticise bitcoin, fairly or not.
