I should update this to say that AMP seems much more of a thing to critique as regards the news and adtech. Thought of this while reading today's thread on how a bug in AMP prevents links to a publisher's web page.
News sites more or less must use amp to rank, I think, which means they need google adtech.
Could be wrong, not an expert, but it seems an actual legit critique the media could make.
And the above would be true even if Google News didn’t exist.
The media has incredibly sloppy thinking about their business model.
What monopoly prevents the post from managing their own ads? They choose not to.
