As a user, I go to the trouble of clicking the original link after entering an AMP site.
Not much because I think it will make a dent in the access statistics, but because I really hate the experience.
As a coder, if I'm honest, money speaks louder, unfortunately.
If they pay me I'll do it, as others obviously do, but that's something we could have a hand on changing collectively.

The company I work for is doing AMP and are getting real business value from it. As such money does speak louder and if the users of our product are engaging with it more because of AMP, why would we go against it? Philosophical reasons aren't enough. To give people and companies a reason to oppose AMP you'd need to frame the reasons in a way that includes business considerations.
- api 7y agoWhat value are they getting other than being ranked higher?
- mosen 7y agoThat’s an extremely compelling reason in itself.
- buboard 7y ago> I work for is doing AMP and are getting real business value from it. Do you have an idea how are they monetizing the extra traffic. And how much more traffic is it? If google is strongarming people to use amp, isnt that fundamentally breaking net neutrality?
