According to [0], mobile ads are expected to surpass desktop in 2017.

On another note (related to the link I just provided), is it me or is that Google AMP service completely heinous? It seems to hide publisher content behind Google URLs and nearly force publishers to integrate to it to land in top results. Why aren't people pissed about this "takeover"? What am I missing?

Amp is amazing. Without amp it's pages full of full screen popovers that take 30 seconds to re see.

Could they have done this without making the underlying full pages/site inaccessible?
