A more lightweight protocol limits the attack surface for capitalism. The web sucks because basically anything can be wrapped in http, including ads, tracking cookies, data collection JavaScript, etc.

Gemini protocol only carries markdown

That's a fair assessment. I'll admit to having a severe case of doomerism when it comes to tech lately, and the levels of shit tech bros will go to to monetize shit has me skeptical there's any sort of protocol or technology that could be made bro-resistant for more than a short period of time.

EEE is pretty prevalent and has been a very standard practice with these tech companies for a long time. See: Meta and Threads for a recent example.

How would you drive the adoption of such a protocol in an environment that is largely hostile towards attempts at demonetising things?
