If you don't go to comic book stores you may expect certain things. Today, forget it!
It's like walking into any book store, except there's a table with special issue comics free for the taking.
A way for you to sample topics and find new comics. Do it!

A screw it, let's do it:
TL,DR: AMP format doesn't support JavaScript in the way you can use it on regular web pages.
This prevents publishers from using header bidding with AMP (limits how many ad exchanges one can connect to @ a time, making it less desirable/useful; see doc)

People say "take your kids!"
Do, but also, take your parents! I bet they have not read a comic in a long time.
Or your spouse! Or your brother or sister. Do it!
But also, go alone!

It truly does not matter that women outperform men on these metrics.
This is because men are generally evaluated on subjective potential, not on accomplishment.
It is pointless to continue proving men and women are equality capable when the problem is misogyny.
It’s probable that female leaders are far more competent than they think they are — while male leaders are less competent than they assume they are.

Why not just stick to web standards and build meat and potatoes web pages that can work with whatever ad exchange you need?
Because Google can also simultaneously exert pressure onto publishers to use AMP to increase likelihood of search ranking performance.

You don't need to know about their intentional wrongdoing to grasp how damaging to the principles of the open web AMP is.
However, as you read this and understand how AMP enables their scheme, it becomes very clear why they have gone about it this way.

It is difficult to talk to people about the difference between the conceptual structure of something and how that structure is represented in pixels.
People are capable of both conversations but struggle to have a conversation that holds both things in parallel.

The fact that one dumbass can make a completely false claim based on their fantasy of the world and the onus of proof relies on the institutions who are overburdened and charged with solving real problems is a real failure of the entire social system.
An online claim that Pfizer admits vaccinated people can "shed" the COVID-19 vaccine to unvaccinated people is false.
COVID-19 vaccines cannot spread between people. Posts making that claim are misrepresenting language in a protocol document.

This way Google can make itself indispensable in your ad buying workflow, creating the conditions for more nefarious practices to up their fee-based racket (won't get into that, not my wheelhouse)
But why can't people just walk away? Why not leave AMP behind?

How? First by making search ranking AMP-preferred. That's an obvious walled garden so need to make that palatable: state this is about page performance and that AMP is higher performing than any regular web page.

In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90°. Over a month, the structure was moved 15 inch/hr, all while 600 employees still worked there. There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the telephone service they provided. No one inside felt it move.
