It's a lot of effort to maintain AMP pages for all your site content alongside the standard pages over time. That's why they tend to degrade.

Reminds me of the old-fashioned "m.<domain>" sites we used to have to maintain for mobile browsing; often using wonderful tech like WML.

That sucked.

Yes, it is effectively like operating an "adaptive" site alongside your (probably) responsive main site

Seems like a ShowHN opportunity: upgrade your AMP code (ugh) automatically when you update your regular web facing presence.

Call it antitrust.ly! :)
