    I think the formatting of web pages, specifically the expansions with the idea that the webmaster should be in complete control of the look, is what led to this bloated hellscape of modern web design.

    The web should be 100% usable without CSS and JavaScript. The fact that it is barely usable without is a testament to how far we've fallen.

    The old web was far more disability-friendly than the modern one.
