This reminds me of how shocked I was when memes using image macros started becoming a thing around 2008 or so. I still remembered the bad old days of dial up and waiting tens of seconds for images to load and thought it was so horridly inefficient to convey a message that way.

Now we have HD videos pushing the same (and arguably worse) content taking tens if not hundreds of MBs and conveying the same information that is much harder to parse than a text file could do in a few kilobytes.

I feel like I am having my old man yells at cloud moment here, but its a hugely inferior medium.
