> 150K is still a pretty large audience. No, it's tiny. And considering how HN readers usually user adblock, and rarely click on ads, it is a completely irrelevant audience for Google. But let's say you make $10 out of each user per year. That's $1.5M in yearly revenue. It barely pays for 3 employees at a large tech firm. > It's an influential audience, to the extent that tech and therefore thinking about tech is influential. >It's an audience that understands the implications of technology choices like this and can articulate them. Considering how even HN readers are divided about AMP, I'd say that the net impact of HN audience on AMP is zero. We're not as influential outside the tech bubble as you think.
