blurrywh | 9 years ago | on: Summary of My Meeting with Google AMP Team
We all confronted Google with an abuse of power in a previous AMP HN thread[1] and Malte Ubl and Paul Bakaus from Google seem to follow our sentiments closely but didn't dare to reply in the previous thread. Instead they preferred to have a quiet and safe lunch with just one of us. Good to know.
Malte and Paul, what you are doing is a huge abuse of power with a random specced product and you are not listening to your users, especially those on Github. Many people made lists of drawbacks and the previous thread is full of many more. AMP is heavily flawed and beside the abuse of power, AMP is from a UI perspective an utter disaster: You wan't to improve the mobile user experience but steal so much screen real estate from am already limited mobile view, I made a quick mockup: http://imgur.com/a/VYVZ0 Just tell us, why does the bottom navbar on iOS stays now with AMP sites forever and does steal even more real estate? Who made this design decision and all the other random design decisions?
It would be great if Malte and Paul finally take the responsibility and comment to all the previous attacks here. I guess that Sundar has been informed about the dissatisfaction with AMP and it's now really time to give a statement. It seems that Google has already slightly deranked AMP sites in their SERPs which shows that even internally Malte and Paul are not fully backed up.

Would be great if the OP would tell us how many sales he made through this post (once he got the stats from the Amazon affiliate dashboard).
