> 1. Google already states that AMP pages are ranked higher because they're faster to load.

Cool, so how do I get my plain text page which loads faster than the motherfuckingwebsite.com into the AMP carousel?

Look at the source of motherfuckingwebsite.com. You'll find that it loads a certain analytics script. Motherfucker indeed.

And it's well aware, right before loading the script in the HTML is:

    <!-- yes, I know...wanna fight about it? -->

The script is also loaded async, so it's not that bad.

Exactly. Which is why I have sites that load even faster than motherfuckingwebsite.com, yet they don't get any of the search ranking benefits.
