Far worse than this is it is destroying the quality of content produced by well meaning creators.

Every review (and almost every site now) has to have the word 'best' wedged in 1000 times and text descriptions of what would be far better communicated by graphs or diagrams. The vocabulary and grammar has to he reduced to duck speak (which becomes more verbose, less clear, harder to read, and more ambiguous). There need to be a hundred repetitions of whatever key words are popular. And there needs to be 50MB of javascript and anti-responsive nonsense for what would more legible, more attractive, more accessible, and actually usable on a phone if it were plain HTML with no styling.

Then you need further 20MB js libraries to progressively or dynamically load 100kB images.

It's not just highlighting terrible content, it's actively destroying good content.
