I'm all for balanced debate, but strawmanning doesn't help anyone.

How this this a straw man? Parent is just agreeing with gp that a lot of HN users are obsessed with AMP and it’s supposed evils

Disclaimer: googler opinions are my own

Nobody is claiming the following ridiculous statements:

> every single one of the 100k engineers that work there do nothing but dream up ways to trick people into using AMP for some secret illuminati end goal.

> every single UX change to a product with a billion users is part of the vast AMPiracy.

First of all, parent is not arguing with anyone, they are building on gp’s comment.

Parent is using hyperbole as a rhetorical tool to make a point, not to distort or discredit a particular persons statements
