Not necessarily. AMP has terrible usability. For people who block 3rd party JS from loading, AMP pages take 8 seconds to load.
AMP will hurt publishers in the long run:
- giant back button to take users back to Google Search instead of deeper into your site
- broken referrers
- bad inbound links (that point to google.com)
- someone else dictates your monetization strategy
- someone else limits how you publish online
- not faster than DIY optimization
- etc. https://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=amp+sucks https://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=amp+sucks
