Ironically, loading this page strained my CPU so much I had to restart. I assume you inserted secret browser-killing code into your comment? Well played.
Anyway, my point is that just because it's complicated doesn't mean it's not stupid. You've got a bunch of people telling you they don't care for all the modern fancy shit, they just want websites to load fast and convey information. The response of a professional computer programmer - I'm guessing - shouldn't be, "Silence, peasant, the features you didn't ask for are straining our brains!"
Like, who really cares if you have to refresh a page to see new comments? You still have to do that here (except with your own comments), you still have to do that on 4chan, and these are some of the most popular sites on the internet.
Also, I don't know much about programming but I bet most of the code on any website is trying to unfuck something caused by previous untalented programmers. I'm glad Elon is feeding them all to his tigers

Yeah i just want more sites to be like this one. You can keep all the excuses why it can’t because it can. Some sites need to be dynamic of course but many more could be simple like this one.
I wasn’t referring to u making excuses btw-
