gollark: Thus advertising bad.
gollark: > 1) same on youtube for the same qualityIt can pick a quality depending on connection quality and such. You can also do this but it's hard.> 2) you are overly optimistic about the bloat of modern websites. I just loaded a random ad-loaded heavy website and the two biggest scripts along are already 1 MBOh dear.
gollark: Which they pay for traffic on, yes.
gollark: That's a few pence on certain mobile network plans, equivalent to about four books, and basically the maximum size of accursed JS in the wild.
gollark: 8 seconds of video at reasonable bitrate is about 1MB.
