cnn.com: 2.3 MB (w/o ads, trackers etc.)

i enabled ads/trackers (both disabling ublock and removing my hosts file) and
cnn.com w/ bullshit: 5.3 MB (!!!!!)
screenshot: 650 KB

@Xkeeper Impressive, my game demo isn't even that large (2.7MB). Good thing CNN doesn't have a Patreon button on there as well. :P
On a more serious note, doesn't the US have a very spotty situation with internet speeds and availability? You'd think they'd at least try to limit the size a bit, since people just lose patience.
@BatElite If only.
