Fantastic, a big thanks for doing this. Google probably has the most to benefit from, but I suspect there is something more structural that is leading to poor management decisions.
"Well, AMP was an interesting experiment. Now it is time to shut it down and take the lessons learned back through a proper standards process."
- TazeTSchnitzel 7y ago> poor management decisions You make the mistake of thinking it is a bad decision for Google to make AMP. It suits Google's interests, that's why it exists. It might be selfish, monopolistic, and harmful to the open web, but Google doesn't have to care.
- AJ007 7y agoThis was in reference to many other things going on at Google. It was in Google’s interest if everyone went along with it. They haven’t. Perhaps the strongest opponents now are the webmasters who added amp support and then lost rankings, users, and as revenue. For all that Google has, they have zero control over the platform the majority of the wealthiest internet users in the United States use — iOS. If Apple doesn’t like something, Google has to care.
- ChrisSD 7y agoMy only concern is that Google is big enough to force through changes in the standards too. Chrome+Search is so dominant it's able to steamroll objections pretty effectively through sheer momentum.
