"It is a couple MB payload, so its bad" never really reasonated with me.

YouTube serves hundreds of MB payloads to serve information. Even a bloated SPA is tiny in comparison.

Although, I think YouTube is also an SPA.

Some websites serve hundred MB payloads to show a hero video.

Why is JS optimization the great evil when there is often so much more waste in media or design choices?

Writing is an art, and some enjoy producing or consuming verbose prose. I hope AI doesn't change this.

Personally, I don't appreciate verbosity while reading blog or news articles.

However, I don't think its bullshit. If a author is sharing, they likely are doing so in a manner that they find enjoyable.

The way I see it, you don't need to read communications like this if you don't enjoy it. Much of what gets said repeats what has been said elsewhere.
