Sometimes it feels that *I* am the last holdout on a limited data
plan. Everyone else seems to be doing *everything* on their
phones as if they had unlimited data.
Oh, I have an unlimited plan with Verizon, iirc 20GB at max speed then throttled, but haven't had an issue the couple times I wind up throttled (updates to a laptop while tethered on travel). But given I've been developing web based applications for a VERY long while now, it's still something that concerns me.
The main app I'm working on has bloated out quite a bit, which likely
won't be an issue for the target audience, but still bugs me to see over
1mb compressed payload for a web based app, which is nimble by
comparison to some apps/sites.
I have nothing flashy. Infact, it sorely needs a basiv upgrade
so that it plays nice on mobile devices - I think they call it
"adaptive".
Still rocking my Pixel 2XL after over 3 years now... would probably
still have my Nexus 6p if the battery didn't blow up and catch on fire.

That's the thing. My biz is just single-function. No social
events. I don't need to "build" a social group of fans. They can
do that themselves with FB (when I finish the site properly)
..and even Google's MyBusiness has social-media options.
Yeah... I just think that too many businesses exercise too much effort
into putting more than they really need or should either into a website
or on their social media interactions. And it can even work against one.
