This site loads amazingly fast! Proves the point that you really don't need AMP.
I'm very confused by this article -- AMP is an optional framework: https://amp.dev/ and even if you use it you can opt out of having Google load/point to it: https://support.google.com/news/producer/answer/7281462?hl=e... You don't need to no_index your site. What can you do about it? Just don't implement AMP. Yes, sites who do AMP get preferential treatment in search engines, but you can still get excellent results…
It's a matter of principle, AMP is a terrible thing for the web in general.
The author should clarify that they're taking extreme measures, but that this isn't required to not use AMP.
I am currently struggling with Google and been even considering just straight up creating a Brazilian "Yandex/Baidu" clone or something somehow. My current business is heavily Google reliant, and Google been proving to be a very poor business partner: * Keeps punishing my site both in organic rank and AdWords rank (thus price) for not being mobile, despite my site being intended to be viewed by engineers with big scr…
It doesn't take much imagination to see how governments and what is arguably the most effective spying apparatus on the planet have developed mutually beneficial relationships.

Add to that that their "upgrade" of their adwords/adsense interface is an unmitigated failure of constantly spinning progress bars and cards cards cards everywhere making it really infuriating to use. And charges and payments have become suspiciously opaque. Things like CPM swings (for adsense) in the exact same audiences. As for adwords, luckily i can afford to forgo all mobile traffic. I don't know what shit google…
I built myself a workstation with 32GB of overclocked ram...
A few times I left it on overnight with a google site open (adwords or gmail), the machine became unresponsive, using all 32GB of RAM and then freezing after running out of swap... I only found out what was happening on a day I was particularly patient and let windows trash for 20 minutes to open the task manager and let me see the ridiculous ram usage coming from browsers (I use both chrome and firefox on that machine... I wanted to use only firefox but as I said earlier chrome is needed to avoid the "infinite spinning bars" bug on adswords, also some types of ad editors straight up shows blank on firefox).

When people think "advertising" they often think TV first. But you might be surprised how reasonable some advertising rates can be for radio (especially classical radio sponsorships and news radio), regional and local newspapers, and certain magazines.
A web site I used to own advertised with AdSense for a year. The second year I put the money into local public radio sponsorships and a single magazine ad, and the quality of the responses was much better.
Google must offer an option to opt out from those kind of products and at the same time, offer the search result. I am interested in this, I don't want them to replace me for their own UIs.
Is it possible to make an AMP page that just redirects to a non-AMP one?

> I honestly don't know why so many governments with strong antimonopoly laws tolerate Google shenanigans. To build an anti-monopoly case you would have to do more than show that Google was the only good ad vendor. Are they the only ones that can give you clicks because they are smarter and better at their jobs than every other ad vendor, or are they the only ones that can give you clicks because of underhanded marke…

AMP is optional. You don't have to implement it. Even if you do there's ways to instruct Google when to use it/when not to.
