It may not slow the board down (anymore) but it certainly slows down people on low bandwidth devices from being able to read the threads.

True. Also, 53% of web traffic is now over phones. Most carriers have monthly data caps and charge more for overages. The large pictures on the small screens screw up mobile displays.

Knowing the demographic of freepers, though, I suspect some of them connect to the internet like this.

Yeah, we old folks are a pain, but people will miss us when we’re gone.

The last time I was in west Texas I asked a rancher friend how things were going. “Oh alright, I guess. But if you want something done, you’ve got to call a 70 year-old. These young people won’t do anything but drugs.”
