I agree, and whenever I bring up that web designers can do anything but wrong, I've been piled up on before.

I'd still take a mildly broken AMP page to read an article over the "intended experience" with ads and trackers everywhere and any attempts to block them would break the page further.

Agreed - all the claims that AMP sites are slower / more bloated then non-AMP sites seemed like total nonsense to me. Maybe HN folks with blocking capabilities - but average folks like my mom, AMP was the place to be.

The fun part about ads and trackers is that they do not contribute anything functional to a page, so blocking them generally does not break anything.
