Why are gravitational waves better for long distance communication than EM waves?

It's hard to shield them.

But bandwidth would probably suck.

Oh come on, just collapsing some million black hole pairs to get the latest JavaScript based ad across the whole Galaxy. Let's not pretend there are still people with a 56k gravitation modem out there.

So do neutrinos. They're a lot easier to make.

TBF, the waves propagate more literally through anything than neutrinos. In a, you know, "technically correct" sense.
