 * Hey guys! I’m struggling HARD to simply adjust css.
 * Wordpress creates a lot of unneccessary inline css, with styles for every block
   of content. As of right now we’re up to ‘.wp-block-78’ or something like that,
   while I’d love to have a way of having no inline css, with a css file which has
   the properties for classes like h2 or custom classes. Is that possible? Thank
   you in advance!
 * As an example I dug out this: [https://www.styleshout.com/demo/?theme=augustine](https://www.styleshout.com/demo/?theme=augustine)

 * You apparently have some sort optimization plugin, since the block CSS by default
   is loaded from an external file, it does not appear by default as inline styling.
   Inline styles are actually more efficient than external files because it reduces
   the number of separate file requests. Same amount of data, fewer requests.
 * Optimization plugins typically have a setting where you can disable CSS optimization.
   I don’t recommend doing so, but it should be possible.
 * I agree that it’s annoying to have a bunch of CSS you don’t need, but the issue
   is that it takes more processing time to decide what’s really needed than to 
   simply send out everything that might be needed.
 * If you really wanted less CSS by eliminating rules that you would never make 
   use of, you could compose an abridged version of the block styles and enqueue
   that while dequeuing the default styles.
