So if I built my own personal ad network, I could make a PR and have it be accepted?
An external contributor is currently building first class support for "My simple ad network that just wants to put an image with a link on the page" https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/5541
There are other ways to do it, though.
This is working as expected and you need to do more work to make AMP work for you?
Why can't it work with templates, why does content that was created need to be created again for AMP? This doesn't seem very scalable.
Also, the attribution for ads and analytics basically means you need to reimplement your entire tracking code within the schema and spec of AMP's analytics attributes which only supports a subset of existing providers rather than allowing an abstract interface.
Also to the point that AMP doesn't affect search position, is this true if someone serves a shitty AMP page? Or is it only true that it won't boost position?
Am I being uncharitable in saying the TLDR is: This is working as expected and you need to do more work to make AMP work for you?

> We’re looking at ways to make the source link more discoverable and will update once that is done.
If Google was actually going to fix the issue, they would have said "we will make the close button direct users to the original site and will update once that is done" OR "we are changing the x (close) button to a ← (back) button".
"x" means "close" and "←" means "back". This is confusing UX at the least and arguably a dark pattern.
He avoids really hard addressing the only bit that matters > Guess what happens when the "close" button is clicked inside the AMP view? And the amount of disingenuous on this just rubs me the wrong way: > If you are not comfortable with traffic on your AMP pages, please do not publish AMP pages.
Happy to address the close button: You are on a search page, you go on layer deep by clicking. The close button goes back. I don't see what else it should do. Mind you that I do understand that a link to the origin server would be a good improvement (and I've stated that in the post). I'm not sure what you find disingenuous. AMP are just web pages saying "HEY I A AMP, please use treat me as AMP". You can publish the…
Does Google have any plans to let users opt out? Maybe an icon that takes you to the original? I tried opening the AMP link in a new tab and it took me to the site, so at least there's a workaround. Since I normally use Firefox Mobile (has to try it with Chrome), I don't get the AMP icon and I'm taken to the requested site. I'm guessing this functionality is limited to Chrome and (maybe?) Safari on mobile. AMP is att…

Am I in the minority in that I found the function of the "x" to be very clear? I don't know if it is fair to call it "nothing less than a dark pattern" without a bit more data.
My current feature request is to link the "publisher domain" to the origin article, so that one can always click that to get there and use it to copy the link.
Congrats humanity. Your best invention ever and it only 20 years or so to completely fuck it up. This is why we can't have nice things.
