I don't like AMP, and I very glad there is now some push back against Google's implementation of it. Fast pages are great, but I suppose I'm missing the background on why it was necessary to do this, when anybody who can implement AMP could presumably have implemented "lightweight non bloated pages" without using it.
It's bad enough that I've had to switch to using Bing on mobile, despite the worse results, and I'm actually genuinely fearful for the first time about the openness of the web.
- davedx 10y agoYeah, I'm tired of not being able to load Reddit from Google SERPs on my phone. Really tired of it. Time to give DuckDuckGo another try I guess...
- djmobley 10y agoHave you checked your content blockers?
- ricardobeat 10y agoDisabling ad blocking makes it work, yes. That is part of the problem here...
- matthewmacleod 10y agoTo be fair, even when it does load it's a rubbish half-page. I click on Google search results to see pages, not to see abstracts of them. It's so totally broken as a user experience for Reddit in particular.
- ryao 10y agoReddit AMP links break on the iPhone when the Reddit app is installed. I do not know exactly why but my guess is that the open in Reddit app functionality is incompatible. I am not sure how to report this to Reddit.

- Traubenfuchs 10y agoPush back? Where? It seems there is no alternative for those who care about their rank and clicks.

- lmm 10y agoI've also switched to Bing on my phone. I figure that's the only thing that has a chance of making Google notice.
