AMP sites were enough to make me change the default search engine on my iPhone and I’m a very lazy person.
The good news is that Google is deprecating AMP now - or at least, its no longer a requirement for getting a ‘Top Stories’ place in search results - so I’m hoping we see it wither as sites no longer field compelled to use it
I hate amp so much that once iOS supported safari extensions I bought the Amplosion extension (from the dev of the Reddit Apollo app). There were constant scrolling and zoom issues for me any time I loaded an amp page, fuck amp.
Hey, I’m all for killing every god, but if your vote at the federal level doesn’t count and the cops are all violent bigots from the next county over, wtf else are you supposed to champion? A living fucking wage? Body autonomy? Simply NOT being a rounding error in one more billionaire’s financial report? Plant your flag wherever you need to, but I say again: Fuck AMP.
We’re on the same page here, but you have to be realistic. The amount of people who still don’t know where to find the any-key on their laptop, is staggering. I have little hope that the masses will ignore amp or even be consious about the existence of amp. I’m affraid amp will remain unless google decides it is done with amp.
However, other in this threat have mentioned that google might in fact be considering abandoning amp. So there is a ray of sunshine in the otherwise dark and hopeless outlook of the future
Fuck AMP. Ignore it, don’t use it, let it wither and die off. Today.
That’s not gonna happen. It’s forced down your throat and most people don’t have the knowledge to do anything about it. Much like religion.
