New What's the difference?
For some reason I always thought the amp version was the lightweight version of a page and I get that redirected there by default because I'm a cell phone.

So I just did a side-by-side scroll of the two pages and they're pretty much identical.

Why post the alternative?
New Interesting, the non-AMP link is paywalled for me.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Makes partial sense
Just making stuff up based on a bit of knowledge and assumptions.

Amp pages get fed to news aggregators. That's the lightweight version. Direct access heavyweight pages don't.

Amped pages count as advertising? Regular ones are access costs plus whatever they managed to sell on them? So regular pages cost them more to distribute.

You probably have read far more Rolling Stone articles than I have which in turn has triggered them to block you. But not on the amp pages because that particular feed either doesn't care how much it costs or there's a lower restrictive weight value assigned to them when it is looked up and therefore they let you get the amp but not the regular.
New AMP = Accellerated Mobile Pages
Google scrapes the simplified versions, and when you click the link you're getting it served from Google's servers. Yes, this means decreased distribution costs for the source, theoretically faster load time for the user, but ads - less or more than the original - are 100% in Google's control.

I haven't seen anyone do a side-by-side comparison of a large corpus in a while, but the short version is that you're giving up as much control to Google using AMP as you give up to Facebook publishing on their platform.

As long as there's someone ready to call and interview, she has decided to answer. She's pissed. And she's one of the few people in the world who can actually win a fight with him.
