"While I see the need for Protobuf and Thrift for services communication, I don't really see the point of using it instead of JSON for the frontend."

Has the title been updated? It currently is "Using Protobuf instead of JSON to communicate with a front end", which is not click bait at all. The author used Protobuf instead of JSON as an experiment, and concluded that there is no reason to use it.
