This is a really old article, but as long as we're here: just a quick reminder that the AMP standard still includes platform-specific components that favor individual companies[0] over smaller creators. It's still not clear what will happen to the components when those services disappear[1], and it's still not clear whether Google has the guts to tell someone like Facebook that a new component feature isn't performant enough to be included. Quick reminder that the only way to do captchas in AMP is to use Google ReCaptcha. There are a lot of reasons to hate AMP, but one big reason I hope doesn't get drowned out is that it's not just anticompetitive in the sense of handing control of traffic or hosting to Google. It's anticompetitive in the sense of reducing functionality on the web to a handful of large corporations that have every incentive to reduce diversity and place harsher performance restrictions on competitors than they place on themselves.
