My thought on the matter is that you can't polish a turd.
Mybusters busted this myth.
While you may never want to, you can indeed polish a turd.
LOL Great episode. Huge MB fanboy here.
I grew up watching Flintstones, Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry, etc. The quality of these shows was almost comical itself - how many times can Tom & Jerry run past the same table & window? I can still watch them today. Then the new and improved Tom & Jerry came out 20 years later with much improved computer assisted graphics. Not watchable - it feels like the quality of the show was put into the visual aspects of it. Simple cartoons like southpark today are entertaining.
Along the same lines, I'd rather have a quick loading, text only site than some fancy site that requires the latest plugin.
And you would be in the minority. First impressions are everything today. Sure some people don't care about aesthetics but a more larger majority does.
Strange you pick a video medium example, although I understand what you mean. I don't think we are in the same realms what so ever.
I have broadband, but I still miss the "load images" button that early Netscape browsers had. I don't doubt that a great many end users, particularly those in nations werein broadband is still rare and bandwidth usage is metered, very much appreciate the low-bandwidth nature of many Bitcoin related sites.
But how big of of a consumer base is that? You may be right but I don't think that is the consumer group must people are shooting for. Not much of a base.
