The person you're replying to is most likely making a low-effort troll post on how large webapps tend to be now. Keep in mind that most of what's downloaded would be cached, and the response from an up / down vote would be considerably smaller than 10KB.

Something tells me that YC isn't about acquiring users to have a unicorn exit of HackerNews.

Shitting on users is bad no matter what site you make.

you call it low-effort but in fact the person doesn't see it as obvious satire.

It really does seem this is exactly how modern web app redesigns are done.
