There's a lot of AMP hate on hacker news and I've never quite understood why. They talk about it destroying the open web, as if the existence of Facebook, Google, Amazon didn't already make a big dent in it. Really? AMP is the cross you're going to die on? I just don't get it.
- idle_processor 9y agoThere's enough animosity out there to spread around between AMP and other centralizing forces. Calling one out doesn't implicitly give the others a pass. Facebook (especially Instant Articles and video rehosting[0]) is awful for very similar reasons. What's pernicious about AMP & co. is seizure of control and immense abuse potential that comes with preventing visitors from hitting content creators' domains. --- [0] http://splitsider.com/2018/02/how-facebook-is-killing-comedy/ http://splitsider.com/2018/02/how-facebook-is-killing-comedy...
