Hyperbolic to be sure. I’m not sure what to make of this but Google’s AMP certainly has got a lot of web content producers riled up.

They need to make it possible to turn AMP off… but I suspect they don’t want to, because the instructions to do so will spread virally and everyone will do it immediately.

Malthe Høj-Sunesen I didn’t believe you so I checked the page source, found these tags:
<script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js“>
<script async custom-element="amp-analytics" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-analytics-0.1.js“>
<script async custom-element="amp-ad" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-ad-0.1.js“>
