Most useful content on the web is text. Photojournalism is a niche exception and those pages could be linked to from articles.

A lot of the useless pages are 3 stories of scrolling through large images with very little text.

Also, "data" as in tables and small/vector charts isn't all that big.

Tell that to a photographer, designer, artist, illustrator, etc

Think you may be looking at this only through a developer lens. Bet if you showed anyone under 15 an internet without pictures and video they'd consider it broken.
