This makes me ponder over how predictable we humans can be.

We tend to act similarly when placed in similar circumstances. We think alike when presented with the same context. We find patterns in things. Etc, etc, etc.

And I'm sure I'm not the first person in this thread to have had this exact thought.

"since they’re using the same templates, large chunks of HTML can be squished down considerably"

It sounds like this same data is not only compressible, but it also has zero useful signal in it and it can be filtered away.

Have you tried that? Are there articles/approaches that talk about it?
