Google is deprioritizing sites without amp in search to force them to use it.

So, if I search for something on reddit, I already learned to use duck duck go. Cause then I don't have to edit url to get rid of amp part not scroll up and down for that link.

Isn't that just a protection racket?

That's a super valid complaint and also completely orthogonal to any of this nonsense about the web being killed because a URL was obfuscated.
