Lol, AMP showing a google.com domain. Why are sites opting to send traffic through Google?

A Google-AMP version of a story published on Yahoo Finance syndicated from Business Insider. What a time to be alive!

Meta: Can the link be changed? The one right now is:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.yahoo.com/amphtml/finance/n...

It looks like a (AMP) copy of a (AMP) copy of a web page. Just https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/finance/news/apple-fans-return... or https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/apple-fans-returning-macb... would work.

It's like a free CDN. /s

A Google-AMP version of a story published on Yahoo Finance syndicated from Business Insider about a Reddit thread, no less. Turtles all the way down.

What's up with Apple? Seems to me like they should have just dropped the i9 option altogether, since they couldn't make it work. It just further torpedoes their fading reputation for being able to build top-notch hardware.

Yahoo uses oath and doesn't adhere to GDPR. The HN link does, though I dislike AMP anything is better than oath.

Headline: "Apple fans are returning their new MacBook Pros that cost a minimum of $2,800 because they can't reach the advertised speeds"

Actual data: two Reddit comments that say they're going to return their MacBooks

What's wrong with the headline "Youtuber finds New MacBook Pros Not Performing as Advertised" or "Youtuber finds Cooling Issues with High Performance MacBook"?

It's basically useless to read headlines from most online news sources these days.
