I can guarantee you that the majority of internet users like AMP. It's only developers and hardcore techies that don't.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoHow can you "guarantee" this? First and foremost, the majority of Internet users don't like AMP, they just don't know what AMP is. Websites may behave strangely to them, and they just don't understand what's causing it. We, developers and hardcore techies, have the same problem, but we happen to know that the cause is AMP.
- Kiro 8y agoI presume you live somewhere with good internet connection. AMP is a life saver here and people first and foremost care about being able to load the page at all. So yes, they like AMP even if they don't know what's causing a page to load fast.
- dao- 8y agoSo if this is Google's motivation, they should just promote results that can load fast regardless of whether they use AMP. They have the means to do that but they don't want to, presumably because their motivation isn't quite aligned with users.
- JohnFen 8y agoMaybe, maybe not. But why doesn't Google do the one thing that would render this entire argument moot? Provide a mechanism that allows users to opt-out of getting AMP pages entirely.
