I decided to disable AMP on my site

I’ve considered disabling AMP when I first learned that Google was serving my site from a cache, but decided against it. My 2 main reasons for keeping it were:I wanted to keep my search ranking.I wanted to provide AMP as an options, for readers who would prefer that format.What I didn’t realize until the “Twitter experience”, is that by having AMP enabled I am allowing other sites to chose how they want to link to my content.Less than two weeks ago I wrote the following:I have no issue with the AMP library itself. I don’t care that Facebook Instant Articles or Pinterest use AMP.Man was I wrong. I thought I didn’t care, until I saw my link on Twitter being forced to render in AMP format.Users don’t need AMPFew weeks ago somebody on Twitter accused me of not liking AMP because I had the “privilege” of fast internet. While it is true that I have fast internet, I don’t think I would use AMP even if I was on a slow connection. I would use a browser with JavaScript disabled instead (may be even images disabled, if it was really bad). This may not work for all sites, but my site is rendered and cached server-side . Users just have to download a bit of HTML to see any page. Why force them to download the AMP JavaScript library?
