   I dunno. As weird as this format is, I'd prefer this to the typical article these days with autoplay video, janky slideshows, ads moving the content around, a pop-up begging you to subscribe to a newsletter, Outbrain/Taboola ads s

    I was on a Hangout with two product managers of AMP, and they told me exactly the opposite. This was Oct 2017. The exception is the news carousel, which appears at the top of search results and also contains only AMP. As of right now, howev
