Fairly useless in my opinion.

From having a look many of them are just a small linktree to larger websites where the information is.

I like the idea of keeping things lightweight, but if I'm being pointed away to external sites for everything. Then it's mostly a 1kb webpage as opposed to a website.

I agree. The 512kB and 250kB clubs are better.

https://512kb.club/

https://250kb.club/

I’m pretty amazed that https://www.fullstackpython.com/ is in the 250kb club. It’s a whole book.
It seems to be separated into chapters.
It’s probably even worse. It’s 1kb plus a bunch of extra http requests and most likely some redirects and wasted time in between.

1kb is just not practical for pretty much anything.
