@davidpierce@mastodon.social @zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com AMP was one of the technologies that got me to write about "fake markets", a way of identifying the coercive and extractive pattern of the tech giants, which echoes across not just publishing with AMP, but the house brands of ecommerce titans like Amazon, and even the on-demand and gig economy platforms like Uber. https://www.anildash.com/2017/03/01/tech_and_the_fake_market_tactic/

@anildash@me.dm @davidpierce@mastodon.social @zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com The only real victims here are us, the end consumers of degrading news content. Mobile news websites are massively awful and hostile to users. More than half the page covered with popups, slow loading pages filled with dozens of paste-in tracking scripts, and video players which lag or don't work at all. And Google isn't above garbage mobile websites. They remove important features from mobile versions of news and image search, accounts, etc.

@anildash@me.dm @davidpierce@mastodon.social @zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com yeah, https://trib.tv/2017/03/31/amp-breaking-news/ was an excellent summary of all that was broken with AMP. published 2017. I thought of it as a cure worse than the disease of page bloat.
