Where are all of the slow websites people are talking about?

Question

I think the developer community makes a big deal about websites taking a tenth of a second more. As if it causes some torturous unbearable moment that users have to sit through. See partial hydration and other related topics.However, I can't even think of any websites that are so slow that this is an issue. Can someone please link below the websites that are causing this great outcry?

The worst symptom of "slow" that I see is cumulative layout shift in content sites.
It might not be entirely accidental. All the time I try to click on a link but at the last minute the layout changes and... ka-ching! I clicked on an ad.
Maybe this is how Google can make $50B on ads a year without anybody admitting that they've ever clicked on an ad.

Throttle your connection and use a machine with low ram, and you'll soon find most websites are unbearably slow.

Every millisecond counts especially in e-commerce. Every millisecond of latency is a potential lost sale
