HN discussion> it brings better placement in search results Recent data suggests otherwise: http://blog.chartbeat.com/2018/08/23/research-study-1-3-publ... What AMP does is allow product ppl to use Google's authority to cut out all the script crap that Sales lobbies for, even if they have to lie a bit. I.e., "If we don't do AMP, we'll make Google mad and sink in organic rankings" is a much stronger argument than "We ought to rem…

HN discussion> they are not so subtly suggesting that search traffic is tied to your usage of AMP. Do you have an example of someone who works for Google saying this, or Google documentation that says this?

HN discussionTheir business relies on the whims of fickle consumers not changing, which seems to happen frequently. Facebook hasn't been cool for a decade+ and usage has dropped a lot in the last few years[1], so all of their eggs are going into baskets that either a) face similar competitive battles (insta v tik tok et al) or b) are gambles (metaverse), other ventures. Social media, and perhaps the internet at large, seems like…
