amp is so annoying. Just link to the sites no need to track (can't they just do it with js) and then the number of people who then post them to Reddit or Facebook because they copy the results link the whole thing is infuriating.
- 14 7y agoI was forever frustrated with my iPhone and safari when I would search something and a reddit link would come up with the result I wanted to see. Click it and would get the amp link open and at the bottom of the screen I would get a pop asking me to download the reddit app but it is impossible to close it without actually going to the reddit site which is what I want in the first place. The end result after being frustrated for long enough, I finally went into settings and set safari search to use Duckduckgo. I hope amp dies.
- mistermann 7y agoWait, amp does that, I thought Reddit itself was the culprit!
- creato 7y agoReddit is the culprit, amp pages don't inherently have such high level logic as this built into them. Reddit chose to make their amp pages behave this way.
- petre 7y agoIt's still useful for bypassing paywalls. I don't care if media orgs like nytimes use it, I care when the average joe blog or website uses it and it becomes annoying.

- tarsinge 7y agoReddit and Facebook are relatively well indexed on DuckDuckGo. Do yourself a favor and change your default search engine (just use !g when you need it).
- monocasa 7y agoThey're saying that other people link to AMP on social media. That doesn't help their issue.

- IshKebab 7y agoI like AMP. It's at least 10 times faster than most news sites.
