"The worst thing I've seen recently is amp URLs for reddit threads." How can I see this very specific example ? I would like to understand exactly what this looks like ... I am not a reddit user and I don't consume much web content on a phone, which is using Safari on an iPhone ... Would I need to download google chrome onto my iphone, then do a google search for a reddit thread, then click on that search result ? Or would I see this result in Safari as well ? Genuinely curious as I would like to recreate this specific result ...

It's something you will routinely see in subreddits. Someone makes a comment wanting to link this thread, and it will say "just have a read of https://google.com/amp/news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23322730" https://google.com/amp/news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23322730.... The madenning part is you will see these links when using Firefox or Safari and you'll see them on a desktop. It is of course, not just Reddit thing. I've seen LinkedIn shares look like this.

You just search for and find any reddit thread, and it is absolutely just as shittastic in any browser (I am using Safari on iOS). https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/gadgets/comments/2u824c/discussion_is_there_a_subreddit_for_cool_stuff_at/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/gadgets/commen... This page is simultaneously encased by AMP, has multiple ways reddit is trying to get me to install an app that isn't going to help me right now as I am hopping between websites--I am going to glance at reddit for ten seconds and then a stackoverflow question and then a bugzilla issue and then a quora thread... the last thing I want right now is to end up in some app--but it also doesn't show me all the comments and is asking me to click through to get them... it used to be I clicked a search result and it showed me the reddit thread, with all the comments and without an app: I liked that :(.
