This guy is an idiot. I admit that a lot of sites blindly add hi-res images and HD videos), but most of the "bloat" is from sh|t we're forced to use (mvc, css, javascript, and in some cases, the ads tacked on by the web host) in our web pages to make them visually acceptable to the mindless end users.

My personal ASP.Net web site is pretty much plain text, and page sizes are 10-20k. Granted, it's not a visual or multimedia extravaganza, but it doesn't have to be. No ads, little javascript, and I try to keep pics below 100k.
