Because there is a strong “libertarian” bent in the startup community. Why? Because there’s a lot of insanely wealthy people who influence the broader community, and over-privileged upper-middle class college kids who just read Ayn Rand for the first time and now think they’re enlightened who gobble up their religious fervor for “capitalism.” And why do those wealthy influencers praise capitalism? Because it provides a narrative for why they are successful that inflates their own egos and fits into their self-engrossed world view, for them to acknowledge anything other than their own brilliance having contributed to their success is to undermine their entire self image. /rant
how is it violating anti-trust is what i want to know. you don't put your website on google amp so google ranks you lower - they've told you this upfront. if you don't like google amp you can choose to not support it and take the advertising/SEO hit(which is really a monetary hit)
except no, people say they are "forced" to use google amp. well duh, google was also "forced" to make amp due to the shitty way people design websites in general(slow, ads in awkward places leading people to install ad blockers etc etc)
amp is inevitable in my opinion - the old style of ads are intolerable to most users now and google needs to keep up since ads are their core business
