re 2. Or one which only looks mutually beneficial, but only benefits Google in reality.
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoCan you give an unbiased concrete example (eg. tainted baby formula, collapsed bridge, corrupted hard drive from virus) of something that has benefited google to the direct harm of one of it's users? The biggest argument I've seen is that people don't like that they aggregate the data you give to them.

- AndrewKemendo 9y agoReally? Nobody benefits from AMP? I mean I get the complaints from developers and publishers, but even on HN I have seen support for AMP. This goes to the broader point though that Google wants to service the end user better based on their feedback (most sites are too big/load too slowly), so they created something simple that gives end users a faster, better and cheaper (lower mobile data cost) solution. In fact Google seems to be moving faster here because companies keep creating large websites to serve rich content that users find annoyingly slow. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/oct/11/google-amp-facebook-instant-articles-apple-news https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/oct/11/google-amp-fac...
- eveningcoffee 9y ago>even on HN I have seen support for AMP There are also many people that actively support Chrome. Does it mean that Chrome dominance is therefore beneficial to the future?
- ferongr 9y agoAs a user I like AMP. it loads faster than the normal bloated websites and doesn't freeze my device while megabytes upon megabytes of scripts try to run.
