I would love to know what is really going on here.
I'm admittedly not very technical, but like a prisoner scratching tally marks on the wall each day, I try to keep up on the latest "how tech companies are fucking us over" news of the moment, even though I can't do anything about it.
Google is pushing AMP on pages in their search results today. Fine, implemented it like idiots. Happens.
But I would not be surprised if in the near future Google comes out with "AMS" "Accelerated Mobile Sites", and forces entire websites into this madness.
I get it, "fast, efficient" is always the story. Monopolistic nerves, quasi-TLA control fetishes, and an old-fashioned internet land-grab is the rumor. But that is too simple for this much trouble and expense. A few years ago Google was dealing with SPDY, QUIC, HTTP2, and talking about "fast, efficient" but you know something felt fishy there too and there was a back-room-dealy vibe with more to the story.
Anywho, while I would love to know what's going on and I have some guesses, I don't really care anymore. Google is wasting everyone's time with these games. So...
Why doesn;t Google just get on with it and host the entire internet? [1]
For free.
Please correct me but Google is already cacheing the internet.
Offering to just host the world will allow them to implement whatever bullshit protocols they were going to do anyway. It would kill off most competitor risk from AWS and whatever Microsoft came out with 9 years late. They can afford it. And they have the space (yottabtye my ass).
That's it Google. Just bend us over and host the internet.
[1] ok not the entire internet, 99% of it. Doubt they would host the porn for free.
