AMP is disliked by privileged people who have never experienced how truly awful browsing the web with a bad internet connection can be.

- saagarjha 6y agoPerhaps they instead see the “solution” to be problematic.
- Kiro 6y agoYes, but not acknowledging the problem and that AMP is a solution, even if it's the wrong solution, defeats any meaningful discussions. We need something like AMP but outside of Google's control. My point is that it's so easy to just see the drawbacks and none of the benefits when you're sitting on a good connection. All threads on HN becomes completely one-sided where everyone is just backslapping each other's complaints.

- mikro2nd 6y agoCan you elucidate what you'd consider a "bad" internet connection? I live Out In The Styx, in a Shithole country, at the end of an allegedly 2MB/s piece of wet string masquerading as an internet connection that seldom lives up to its adverted performance. AMP has never once made any significant difference to my web experience.
