Since various tech layoffs I noticed major sites either being slower to browse or experiencing outages more often.
They eventually managed to ban enough subreddits/users to reach a state of reliablity...
Are you proposing that subreddits full of slurs are harder for the server to return as a byte-string?
Not really, but fun to imagine.
All the big sites seem to load slower and there seems to be more tracking/bloat going on in the background. I think they are desperate for revenue and finally pulling out all the stops. I unfortunately can’t give any concrete examples of this.
Sites get slow as they need to make more round trips before showing useful stuff
