As a user, I don't have any complaint for news sites using AMP. But Reddit links using AMP is a crime against humanity, and I search Reddit threads using Google a lot.


Absolutely, and honestly I blame reddit much more than AMP there. AMP was clearly not created for the sort of dynamic page like reddit. Honestly, looking at reddit's mobile page in general, it's clear that they try to make it as awful of an experience as possible to get people onto the app, which is common with some sites.


I guess you probably do not read article comments?

For some reason I almost always want to read them, and most of the time the AMP version does not have them, and most of the time there is no way to get to the non-AMP version.

Example from my Google feed: https://www-tomshardware-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.toms...


You're right, I don't tend to read comments on articles themselves. In fact I don't even know if many of the news sites I frequent (CBC, BBC) have comment section or not. But I can totally see that being a usability issue with AMP if that's what you're into.
