I'm afraid I don't. I do have *some* historic data, going back as far as 21-04-2020: 171 AMP links. (Data from before that has been lost unfortunately). Yesterday, 19-08-2020: 248 AMP links. But honestly, that data is useless to calculate growth with because:

Overtime AMP-detection improved greatly

• List of automatic and banned subreddits are changed on a daily basis

• Subreddits gain and loose in popularity

• The bot gained popularity overtime, increasing mentions numbers

Etc etc

I would love some graphs too, but considering all the factors above, I can't make them myself :(

While outdated and incomplete, I think your best source is probably the Growth and expansion section on Wikipedia[1].

My personal take based on my experience: AMP is definitely gaining in popularity. Back when I started this it was mostly some American news-sites using AMP, but now I come across AMP pages from all over the world, even non-news sites. It's gaining traction among publishers and developers, that's for sure :/
