Please post direct links to the article rather than aggregators like google amp. Thanks!

  AMP is not an aggregator, it's a opt-in program to speed up pages. Personally, I prefer when someone posts an AMP link, because it is the exact same page and content but loads substantially faster. In this case, the AMP page took me 4.95 seconds to load while the non-AMP link took 10.73 seconds. Again, AMP is an opt-in program implemented by the website owner, is controlled by the site owner, and of course provides the same ad revenue for the site owner.

    If amp were not an aggregator the URL would not point at amp.google.com. I'm well aware of amp's purpose, function, intent, implementation, and effect. I strongly prefer not to have third parties mediating and obfuscating my browsing. So please use direct urls rather than 3rd Party aggregators. Thanks.

      I dislike the amp links as they obscure the ultimate destination in a manner similar to (though not quite as completely) as URL shorteners. That said, aggregator is not the correct term to use here. Proxy may be closer.
