    Youtube 2012 loaded in 1 second on a 5MBit line. HTML, CSS and JS for a page was a few hundred kilobytes.

    You can profile the current “responsive” version in your browser. It might not look horrible but it’s a technical abomination. I doubt it’ll even load anymore in a browser from 2012.

      100% certain that if they kept their 2012 UI, we’d be complaining about how outdated their UI is.

      Well luckily we don’t use browsers from 2012. Thanks god for that. Modern browsers and web standards are so much better.
