They call it “dark traffic” - ads that are not seen by tech-savvy users who have excellent ad blockers.
Not surprised that its growing. The web is unusable without an ad blocker and its only getting worse, and will continue to get worse every month.

I’m wondering if Gopher should make a comeback ? Gemini is a thing so, well you know…
For those who don’t know, they’re alternative internet protocols similar to HTTP
Or just a protocol like Web Monetization where you put an amount of money you choose into a pot on your browser and it’s handed out to sites you visit based on how much time you spend on a given site, with options to denylist sites from payment as needed
Reminded me of Flattr😢 is it FOSS ?
Web Monetization is a proposed standard in W3C, so an open standard
Gemini looks cool, but I wonder if Gemtext isn’t a bit too simple. I think the ideal format would be to go back to the idea of “hypertext”, without the CSS and Javascript.
Okay I checked out Gemini. I love the vibes, but the amount of dead links just in the quick start guide makes it hard for me to even try to get into it
How about this link ?

I’ll have to try out those Gemini links later. Who knows, maybe I’ll get super into it and submit updated links for the official getting started guide
