ELI5: Can someone who’s knowledgeable
explain to me why so many people dislike amp on google searches. What does it really mean disabling it on apps like adguard. What benifits can I have by using it if any.

Thanks

    I’m just gonna link to the explaination that u/AmputatorBot, a bot that responds to amp links in subreddits where bots are allowed, posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot/

    They were a way for google to host abbreviated, barebones versions of your webpages such that it would 1) load faster and 2) appear better in google search. It’s moot now because while the tech still exists, Google doesn’t prioritize them in search results so there’s no point in doing it anymore.
