Not sure if this is still relevant but: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/53q42z/read_redd...
> For now if you want to vote or comment and you end up on an AMP page click the “View more comments” button below the first set of comments. This will take you to our regular mobile web experience where you can vote and comment to your heart's content.

View more comments did nothing. This is going back 1-2 weeks ago. Maybe it was broken or my phone had an issue.
Either way I'm not sure how to feel about AMP. I think it may force web devs to actually do something about bloat which is a very good thing or make bloat worse by offsetting mobile users to use AMP pages only and serving bloat pages to desktops.

Agreed. You can avoid it by using `encrypted.google.com` directly, which does not include AMP results as far as I can tell. Or alternatively, switch to Bing.
I visited a subreddit with AMP and couldn't see nested comments or do sorting and other things. It literally hijacks the functionality.
Why reinvent the wheel to add those features when I am happy visiting the site to get it natively.
