Wouldn't the invisible hand of the market solve this?
If your site is slow, either the share of good customers plummet and you fix it, and customers you don't want leave and you are happy.
- dynamite-ready 6y agoThe parent post still makes a fair point. I can't understand why they were down voted, tbh. I more agree with your reply (custom optimisation and consumer choice), but some W3C standard to encourage the creation of highly optimised pages, perhaps an extension to web workers, might be a good idea. As for the problem of the existence of AMP, I don't know how you change that. It might actually be 'to big to fall's now, unfortunately.
- izacus 6y agoAMP is the "invisible" hand of the market solving this - a private company taking up an initiative to make internet usable for people who aren't MacBook 5G toting Sillicon Valley hipsters. It's also a perfect example why "invisible hand of market" can be an absolutely terrible and abusive way of trying to fix infrastructure for people who aren't privileged rich people.
