Somewhat predictable to see the mess evolving. Once you start peanut-buttering over something, not quite all the nagging problems go away and then you need even more “solutions”. Then even more.
Enough, Google. Making small web sites is EASY, OK? No AMP needed: just write your content and, as if by magic, it is small and loads nearly instantly. If web sites are bloated and slow, close them and use something else. Stop hyperextending the web to make lousy programming practices the norm.
- mikeokner 9y agoYeah I find it strange that publishers & such bother to release AMP versions of their sites but then opt to keep their crappy, bloated versions around as the default. Google should just more explicitly rank pages based on load times and incentivize sites to fix their crap.
- wmf 9y agoGoogle should just more explicitly rank pages based on load times and incentivize sites to fix their crap. Apparently they already did this and it had no effect. It seems like anything less than a binary signal (in the carousel vs. not) is too subtle for publishers to understand.

- walshemj 9y agoUnfortunately this is not true publishers still see this inter webby thing as the same as the print medium they are used to. As my boss said when I worked to a division of RELEX - the main problem is that publishers is that they treat their technical experts with contempt.
- UncleMeat 9y agoYet I can count the number of web sites that aren't either amp or bloated on a hand or two. In practice, nobody was doing the right thing and optimizing their sites.
