That comes across as quite an entitled attitude. It's not really using your resources, that's the package deal for the site. And there are plenty of reasons for granular data - or do you claim to know every use case and rule over the internet?

There is no package deal for websites. I know website owners really wish there was, but it's just that - wishful thinking.

Maybe for sites which require registration (and hence explicitly accepting terms) that could be argued, but there's certainly no implicit agreement to download and process all the stuff the site is offering to the browser.

And "entitled" is just a lazy insult.
