There is definitely something to be said with respect to how bloaty many blogging packages are these days...

Actually, come to think of it, that would be a great name for a new blogging service... call it "bloaty" or "bloatly" or something like that...<g>.

It could also refer to the fact that with most blogs, the signal to noise ratio of the words comprising the articles is similarly bloated, as well... so "bloatly" would be a great name! That'll be my next Y Combinator submission for summer 2020!

"Bloatly"!

I can picture my future company's Y Combinator interview:

YC Staff: "So what does your piece of software do?"

Us: "It's a blogging platform, the very first HAAS (Hot-Air-As-a-Service) platform out there... <g> Great for politicians and salespeople! 1.21 Gigabytes of useless JavaScript per page... the Internet will end before you successfully download any page!"

YC: "So what do you call it?"

Us: "We call it Bloatly -- now give us our $150,000 check!" <g>

(Kidding, obviously! <g>)
