I'm slightly disappointed with the explanation given and had hoped that these were actually the ghost markings of our late monarch coming back to tell us to mind the gip.

If you'd literally pressed backspace 4 times you wouldn't have shared a Google AMP link. You can also edit the link your post.

Was there, perhaps, a way you could have given this message without the snark? It might make people listen to what you're clearly passionate about. If not then they'll continue to do what's easiest for them and share a link: amp or not.

Something to think about ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I wouldn't quite say it was snarky, there was no malicious or hostile intent. It gets tiresome excessively sugar coating the message, and while I understand how you could take it the wrong way the statement was actually very neutral. At least this way I highlighted how easy it is to remove the /amp - literally: ctrl+v, backspace x4.

I'm not overly passionate about it, I just point it out, and then get on with my life. You being stubborn about it has nothing to do with me though lol.

Edit: Lmao and you're downvoting me because I gently told you off. That's kind of pathetic.
