> "Click here to load ~19mb"

Oh, how sweet...

The front page of reddit (not logged in) is 11 MB, logged in it is 17 MB for me (variable based on media-heavy subreddits and ads). Facebook's login page is 8 MB. Hell, Google's front, once a bastion of efficiency (long since fallen), is 9 MB.

It's sad how 19 MB now doesn't even register for me in today's bloated web.

I have recently mentally registered that many people look at GB the same way in 2026


I do appreciate that it puts up a warning instead of starting automatically, maybe not so much for the 19MB part, but for the fact that it plays sound.
