Teenagers are pretty cheap so I can see the appeal if that’s still true.

You'd think the kind of people who use HN would know better than to share AMP urls. I refuse to click on that URL.

  HN is a diverse community with many views.

    If you understand the view of those who share these URL's, could you explain the merits of their case? Now I'm not talking about using AMP on websites as I know the arguments for and against. But as for linking to a resource from a third party site, why would one link to a mirror instead of the canonical URL?

      Why not? The link works fine for me.

      When the mirror is a faster-loading page (as experienced by normal users who don't have javascript blockers), then that makes perfect sense, no?

  Just edit AMP out of the URL. https://www.imore.com/onavo-app-claims-shrink-iphones-data-usage-save-money https://www.imore.com/onavo-app-claims-shrink-iphones-data-u...

    It's really irritating to click on those links, so I think the request is reasonable. AMP pages take many seconds to load on some browsers.
