Google made a solid attempt at improving web performance and usability with AMP and offering preferred ranking - and hacker news mostly skewered them for it.
Publishers need to be compelled to improve performance but the current model encourages bloat
- kristopolous 4y ago> solid attempt Nope. A compromised attempt. This is Google's problem; they smuggle in invasiveness and control in an attempt to conquer the web wearing a costume of benevolence and reasonability. It's cyber-imperialism. The professed virtues are honorable but they have to be instrumented without the power grab
- metadat 4y agoAmp is the worst, and now Google has reneged and rolled back on it, yet many sites still have it integrated because it's more work to undo all the work that's already been done to migrate to amp to begin with. A solid, first-class, grade-HIV+ clusterfuck.
