I'm still hopeful that publishers will bring a class action lawsuit against Google and force AMP's closure. Sooner the better.
- sjcsjc 10y agoTo my own astonishment, I've started using Bing to avoid AMP.
- olig15 10y agoI've done the same. Actually pretty surprised how good general search results are which is fine on mobile. I do still use google on desktop though, because it does help that google knows who I am to give me more relevant results (not that I agree that this should be how it works)
- sintaxi 10y agoI switched to DuckDuckGo for the same reason.
- Quinner 10y agoPublishers opt-in to AMP. They actually implement their AMP pages. And I'm honestly not sure why you hate pages that load quickly so much.
- shostack 10y agoThe definition of "opt-in" is questionable. Many publishers don't want AMP and would not have implemented it if it weren't fast becoming critical to their survival because they are overly dependent on Google, and Google is leveraging its market dominance to exert control over the ecosystem. This was in response to FB doing Instant Articles which had much the same effect on publishers. They couldn't afford NOT to be on FB, but still lose in the end because publishers have zero leverage these days thanks to Aggregation Theory [1].
