Data plans are pricey

And for what, to waste them on truckloads of javascript freemwerks, obtrusive ads, and inane reddit discussions about utterly unimportant matters? All those gigabites transfer for a few megabytes, at best, of something that's worth going through the dumpster that is the modern web.

Right, I less so browse the Web as I do process JS scripts and output data. AI will likely make all of this 1000xs worse. So, either I go for a 250gb per mo LTE plan to accommodate it, or just do as I do now, stay on small sites, offline (usually) and hird part front ends on mobile so I can avoid ads/trackers.

Very good point there :)
