> just about every website and blog now presents multiple spinning boxes when its loading

The vast majority of "page" content is baked into prerendered HTML and CSS rendered. I'm not sure what spinners you're talking about unless you're referring to web apps with timelines/news feeds that dynamically load.

Users love sites that load the important content and are interactive ASAP. Trust me, they appreciate your boring (fast) HTML.
