Just like Microsoft building their own browser and then adopting Chromium, before long they'll be adopting FLoC.

- darkcha0s 6y ago>good news post about something MSFT owned on HN >comment(s) about how MSFT is inherently evil and doesn't deserve credit The HN cycle continues.
- j4yav 6y agoDon’t forget meta comments about the grim predictability of it all, also an important part of the ecosystem.
- omneity 6y agoThis just made me realize something: Once a pattern becomes a meme (or close), it becomes possible to notice a higher level meta pattern which itself becomes memetized ad infinitum(?). I predict the parent observation will itself eventually become a meme to be "complained" about. Maybe this one too.
- prepend 6y agoAnd of course we must consider the meta comments complaining about the meta comments. These all contribute to the je ne sais quoi of HN.

- BelenusMordred 6y agoAMP faced far less of an onslaught and never really caught on the way they hoped it would. Time will tell how this turns out for them.
- Jiejeing 6y agoNever caught on? The vast majority of the news link I encounter are for the AMP version.
- geerlingguy 6y agoI think that's part of the point; AMP became a necessity for news when Google pulled their monopolistic search ranking levers, but few other types of sites implemented AMP since there was no real motive.
- livre 6y agoAMP was specifically opt-in and only websites with enough man power and interest to implement it did, if you wanted it you had to program an entirely different page using Google's JS framework and restricted subset of HTML. FLoC is opt-out and requires zero intervention from web devs, if your website shows ads it's already part of FLoC, it can catch on if people do nothing about it.
