Kill Google AMP before it kills the web
Ive forced myself to use Bing since google introduced AMP. Do I like it better than Google? No, I don&#x27;t. But! I like not having google become my single source of content more than I dislike the slight drop in quality as a result of using Bing. I like the sites I go to, to have control over their content and being able to easily link to them.<p>I think it&#x27;s reprehensible for google to push this so relentlessly and beyond simply stealing links it makes google into the &quot;internet.&quot;<p>This (AMP) could easily be a standard, in fact it&#x27;s mostly just common sense (good lightweight HTML&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;JS). Instead of Google forcing its way on users and creators it could just lower the page rank of the offenders.<p>One other thing about AMP that pisses me off as a user and an engineer is it&#x27;s one more place to maintain meaning one more shitty neglected experience. As a user I hate it when AMP pages are broken and I somehow can&#x27;t get to the non-AMP version. I don&#x27;t blame the developers because we have enough on our plate. My anger is solely directed to google for making the damn mess in the first place.
