Some people are kind of already living that romance with the Gemini protocol. So, that's separate from the whole HTTP/HTML web and you need a Gemini browser to access it. The markup language is rather similar to Markdown, so the fanciest tech you have available, are images and ASCII art. Which is pretty hostile to advertising.
As far as I could tell, if you enjoy reading blog posts, this is actually quite a cozy little corner of the internet.
Yeah, Gemini is an interesting experiment and completely agree it's a very good solution for text based static content. Protocol being restrictive ends up being a feature in this context.
