If you want something more restricted then just use RSS. It’s not centralized like AMP.

RSS only gave/gives me a headline. Its fairly rare that the entire article is available via RSS.

Also is doesn't help for dynamic search. The main situation I'm thinking of is I'm on moble searching for something thats hosted by a local news site. the AMP page generally loads in <2 seconds. The original page will take 5 megs of data, and ages to load.

How centralised is AMP in theory and in practise?

Every client everywhere donates Referrer: logs to ampproject.org, which Google run. It's another centralized web log in disguise

So it's not centralized at all in other words? Because it's an open standard that anyone can implement, both client and server, right?

100% totally decentralized.

AMP requires you load all JS assets from cdnproject.org, which is owned by Google. It is as centralized as it comes

AMP does not require any such thing. Anyone can implement the AMP cache, there are multiple existing AMP caches, and you can serve AMP without a cache, without in any way impairing the function of an AMP page.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but my interpretation of this ticket is that Google's AMP validator currently does not validate self-hosted JS, which means no special handling ("acceleration") on their search results.

4/9 of the technical steering committee are Google employees, and 3 others are from big tech platforms (Pinterest, Microsoft, Twitter)
