You heard me.
Why is it such a chore now to actually get any useful information on anything? Everything seems so much shorter than it was.
I remember reading web sites about a single battle which were 10x as long and thorough as Wikipedia's summary of the entire war, which doesn't even have an article for said battle.
The size of text files (including HTML) are negligible to the current internet infrastructure, so why do people use the far less efficient and information-dense formats such as video?
>>
Because having one long, yet small, file that can be saved and then read offline later made more sense when you were charged by the minute.
>>
Because people can't grasp the concept that the internet is not a big truck.

Back in the day, internet was only used by academia.
Now it's used by every idiot.

I don't think it's just that, because I remember what OP describes still being the case in the early 2000s.
