Yeah, I posted about it last week.
Before you ask, I'm not sure why the bounce rate on my AMP pages was higher. I haven't looked into it yet.

Out of curiosity, were your AMP pages customised? Also, what was the bounce rate like on your normal mobile pages when compared to your AMP articles?

Whoa, your bounce rate went up way more than my bounce rate did!
This is just a theory, but I wonder if the majority of web users simply don't like AMP. Though I can't think of a reason why at the moment.
I also wonder how many of those AMP promoters actually tested that bounce rate claim instead of spewing whatever Google said. After all, Google says "Jump", everyone says "How High?"
Anyway, I found this article about adjusted bounce rate for AMP URLs. Perhaps I'll fix the AMP on my site and look into ABR.

Yeah, my posts that i quoted were from your thread.
My pages were styled and still saw a bounce rate increase, but I do wonder if styling would bring OP's bounce rate down.
Who said AMP was better for news pages?
Accelerated Mobile Pages.

Same problem here, Bounce rate of non-amp mobile site is 54% and bounce rate AMP Version is 70%. I alsmost designed my AMP version to look same as non AMP mobile version, still the bounce rate is high. I think the users think that the AMP version is a spam due to the white header on the top and the close icon on the top-left corner which makes my site different from others. I'm just guessing, not sure about it!
Sorry for my English!
