View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?

I tested it out[1] and you're right. It honestly blows my mind that they have implemented search this way. I don't think they did it to use AMP, as there are much easier ways to accomplish this result. They've probably done this because they have lazy programmers or because Google gets the best search results.

I am working on a feature or website that would allow users to input an amp link and the output would be the direct link. For now you could also summon the bot by mentioning u/amputatorbot. More info about that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ckgfdv/an_update_on_the_way_amputatorbot_handles

Ps i should have posted this from u/Killed_Mufasa whoopsie
