Speaking only and solely for just myself, I do not care whose site I read the material on. I just want it presented in a reasonable, readable manner. A number of publishers seem to struggle with this.
- andy_ppp 10y agoI think the fact AMP (cache) was at least initially broken for lots of people is very concerning; next there is duplicating and breaking pieces of the web (links!). In my opinion the AMP cache should be opt in then quite a few of my concerns go away.
- Kalium 10y agoTo my knowledge, AMP - and thus AMP cache - is already opt-in. A few minutes of research suggests this is indeed the case. Are your concerns addressed sufficiently?
- andy_ppp 10y agoOkay so as a user of Google how do I never see an AMP link again? I'm actually seriously thinking of moving to bing or duck duck go because of this!
- Kalium 10y agoSure! All you have to do is not click on any. That's 100% your choice and entirely within your control. AMP is opt-in on the publisher's end. Publishers choose if you get their site or AMP.
- tdkl 10y agoAnd publishers are strongarmed by Google because of the search rankings. I wonder what the EU will thought of that.
- epistasis 10y agoThat's what I was doing, because I hate scrolling on AMP pages. However it also made Google useless. I may see an interesting page, but then notice that it had the AMP stamp, and no (visible) way to get the non-AMP page. AMP made Google useless for me. Then I discovered DDG. And now I use DDG as the default search everywhere, because I get more relevant results than with Google! So I guess I should thank Google for ruining their search with AMP and opening my eyes to alternatives.
