Yes! I’ve been having this issue for days but assumed it was just me. It is particularly frustrating for sites like Reddit where the AMP version is too aggressively cached and misses most of the recent comments.

It feels like a solution to a problem no one was having, and now it's breaking the internet for people who never asked to use it.
But they did it to themselves. i.reddit.com is fast as hell.
m.reddit.com loads 100x the Javascript.
Thus Amp fixes a probme they created bc reasons.

Reddit mobile is ridiculously slow in a browser. But they did it to themselves. i.reddit.com is fast as hell. m.reddit.com loads 100x the Javascript. Thus Amp fixes a probme they created bc reasons.
Most of the JS is part of the different ad tech networks anyway. Hell, maybe that's their drive? Making it harder to have competiting ad tech?
