We got a bunch of complaints when we moved to the JS only site saying we were ruining the Internet

From my perspective, sites which move to javascript-only cease to be publicly accessible and essentially remove themselves from the internet. I do understand the necessity to do something about the scrapers, but going javascript-only is basically death of the site.

    It's also just practicalities of the industry. You can write interactive elements on a site with minimal JS and some guys blog which could just be an MD file shouldn't need 10mb bundles of JS. However when you do need to shift more in to the application on the web side of things and you need front-end developers it's far cheaper and easier to source spa devs, there is just more of them.
