- acdha 9y agoI'm aware of that but it's new – it took a year to add, giving many time to develop a negative association with the icon – and it's still clumsy compared to the standard web experience. With real web pages, the native sharing UI just works as it does everywhere else. With AMP, you have to know to tap a different unfamiliar icon and then know that the unstyled URL displayed is actually a link you can interact with. That means that sharing goes from one tap to 2-3 and that's after people learn that Google gives substandard results doing what they're familiar with and so you need to remember to do something else only for pages which you found on Google.
- kuschku 9y agoThat's also not an alternative — Google can't be allowed to treat pages different in their results just for using Google's AMP Cache. An AMP page served without cache has to be treated the same, or this becomed exactly the freedom issue that this entire discussion is about. My pages are actually optimized a lot, and they actually get about 10x slower with AMP than without. I don't want to have to choose between fast loading and good SEO, I want both. And Google only offering good SEO to those who let Google track all user interactions with their page is also not ideal (I specifically do not use any ads, analytics, or tracking, not even storing IPs in the server logs).
