AMP pages no longer get preferential treatment in Google search

Here's a non-AMP site that works great: https://text.npr.org/

Speaking from experience, it loads lightning-fast even on an ancient Android device on nerfed 2G data roaming internationally. And the user experience can't be beaten.

Make the web hypertext again!

Wow, I didn't know this existed! It seems way nicer than the "full site", I think even your average user would probably agree. The "full site" feels like nothing but a downgrade, it doesn't really add anything useful.

Nice web design. Now talking about the headlines itself, each and every headline is about a negative news story. If you only read npr you would think the world is on flames.

Possibly this was not there when you looked at it, but right now as I view the third headline in the list is as follows:

> Congress Passes Bill To Counter The Rise In Anti-Asian Hate Crimes

...which despite the negative language is definitely a positive news story.

Is it a positive story? Sounds it!

But... aren’t hate crimes already illegal? Was there some Asian Exclusion that is being removed? Is this feel good legislation? Or is this also an example of “world on fire” narrative?

The bill is providing more funding to prevention measures and resources for victims.

Great, you found one site that works great. Here's a million others that don't and take 10s+ to load on mobile. I'm not sure what your point is.

The day every website out there makes fast and performant websites like the above without any stick or carrot, then you will have a point, but unfortunately we don't live in such a world.

I missed the source to a million others. I haven't noticed this problem. AMP always seemed like a solution in search of a problem.

Wow! But what's up with the whitespace? Remove the max-width from body and it'll become the perfect website.
