Oh yeah, I don't read the news. If anything is important enough, I'll visit the Reddit live thread, or if it's not time sensitive, it will be in the news 2-3 weeks later, at which point it's probably worth reading. So major news outlets are still on the AMP bandwagon? And they complain about revenue...

I sometimes see Redditors posting AMP links to other Reddit threads, presumably because Google search is more effective than Reddit's own search. > or if it's not time sensitive, it will be in the news 2-3 weeks later, at which point it's probably worth reading Google shows AMP for all search results, not just the current-news carousel. If I search for 'Sandy Hook shooting' on my phone, I see a Wikipedia onebox, the first search result which is Wikipedia (no AMP), a handful of news articles from the last few weeks, and then the remainder of the actual search results: a Business Insider article from December 2018 (AMP), an ABC article from 2014 (AMP), a Reuters article from a few weeks ago (AMP), an NBC article from a few weeks ago (AMP), a CBS News article from 2017 (AMP), a Britannica article (no AMP), and two YouTube videos (no AMP).

  Go straight to Reddit, or better yet old.reddit.com :) I tried that search, none are AMP for me. Tried "walmart shooting", none are AMP, even CNN live updates. Android/Firefox. Tried Chrome, not signed into Google, no AdBlock, still No AMP. Strange... May be Internet speed related?

    AMP links will only show on mobile. That's what the M stands for.
