@joshtpm Your Google Serf post was great. The latest front on the serfdom fight is AMP, which is far more overt. They're winning.

Google also controls the web components that allow ads to appear at all in AMP content.

Ultimately, this means that via its search monopoly, Google has been able to build a new version of HTML that it controls directly.

AMP isn't a new version of HTML. It is a subset of HTML. Oh and without it surfers(me) are going to install ad blockers & skip slow sites.

It's not a subset of HTML. It has a whole bunch of new Google-controlled tags. https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/components … You can't make your own.

It is subset. Tags are implemented w standard JavaScript. If you could make your own tags, we'd be back to regular HTML and just as slow.
