Thank you very much. I saved your comment and going to refer to it from time to time. I always said that AMP is solving a real problem. I just not entirely happy with how they went about solving it. My main criticism of AMP is that I see it

I experimented and it looks like they do show full article, they just show the button at the end. Perhaps the article in the post was a developing story. Still interesting, but not as much "fighting" going on as it seemed on first

Yes, except it's not so easy to do in Safari on iOS.

Most sites that end up peacking my interest are credible sites with regular ads. I only see benefits of AMP when I end up on crappy gossip type sites etc.

Benefit for Google, locking people (making it easy to return) into their "platform" thanks to AMP bar and carousel and control over AMP and by extensions large portion of the web. Twitter, I can't see benefits, other than wh

Yeah, it's a long shot. Yet they took the time to get the AMP in.

Yes, and I am very explicit about it from the beginning. Mainly to make sure others don't make the same mistakes.

May be you are right, I'll have to meditate on that one. Edit: It's a complicated situation. Google offers a great carrot/stick to get people to adopt AMP. Publishers adopt it. Other platforms start using it. A lot of users l

+1 would love to see HTML light, and that's why I initially assumed AMP to be. Edit: Now that I think about it, Twitter does try to use AMP as HTML light, since they don't use the cache. Yet I think AMP is does not make a great HT

It's not, it's redirecting to the AMP version, even if non AMP link was shared. See: https://www.alexkras.com/i-decided-to-disable-amp-on-my-site...

It's a valid criticism of my earlier post, I did have a follow up where I tried to do a better job explaining why: https://www.alexkras.com/i-decided-to-disable-amp-on-my-site... Also check out: https://www.

Don't worry, I got my fair share of criticism. I had no clue what AMP was when I first enabled it, all I heard was that it might help my site rank better and I was sold. I should have RTFM and never enabled it, but it's not how it

I bitch about AMP every time it finds an annoying way into my life. I have been bitching about it a lot less, since I disabled it on my site. It was actually a pro AMP article that was posted here and my response to it that "triggered&

You are right, it has more to do with it not being inline with the ideas of the open web, and not liking the prospects of where this can take us.

How would you feel if Twitter turned off the support for format that you liked, AMP in your case, even though that format was readily available, and instead forced you to use some other format you don't like? Regular web pages is the f

I used to think that Sundar Pichai was pushing all questionable things at Google. I now realize that roots of the problems may be deeper.
