| > HN is a highly technical audience and the commenters here perfectly understand what AMP does. You yourself provided a counterexample earlier in the thread. Here's another: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20666920 These comments are highly upvoted, so the readers of the comments also don't understand AMP. If they haven't bothered to understand it but hate it anyway, that is clearly irrational, is it not? > RSS is completely voluntary Just like AMP. > and used for inventory that is not serviced by websites. Nonsense. RSS items almost always link back to plain web pages with the same content but with more publisher control. > You haven't actually provided as reason for why instant loading is necessary other than saying it exists and therefore it must be. I showed you an example of users preferring it. These results are clearly labeled, and users like me click them on purpose. If it was purely about control, they wouldn't be labeled. As far as it being about control, you still haven't explained why Google ceded control to all other link aggregators just like RSS instead of following Apple's and Facebook's path. |
