> People are willing to wait for things that they want to consume and are available for free, up to some limit.

Right, they are going to wait 4-6 seconds and then maybe go back if the page doesn't load.

But that's an insane amount of time which is why I think most people don't really care about bloat until they think "hey this isn't working".

But I concede that you have a point with the tools vs websites to consume information. There is no difference for me personally, loading and reading a website is part of using it.
