Consider dropping AMP

[philwareham]

AMP is a Google proprietary technology that is generally accepted as bad for the future health of the web and publishers. We should consider removing it from our blog posts, even if it causes a drop in search traffic (debatable).

Please list any objections or agreement. If I don't hear anything that sways me in the next 2 weeks I will remove the code.

+1 from me for culling it entirely.

Die Amp, Die.

Pull the AMP's plug!

[petecooper]

Note: if this does get zapped, we can remove pat_if_amp from the plugins list.

[petecooper]

Bump.

[petecooper]

Bumping this one last time so we can a) remove AMP (see consensus above) and b) tidy up the page code then remove the plugin.

OK, leave it with me! :)

It's gone. Don't be evil, Google.
