I love the idea of a set of technologies targeted at text, and only text.
Nobody is saying you can't have the web. I'm not giving it up.
On the other hand, I welcome the a place I can go and not being accosted by ads, images, videos and cookie banners. A place where content is king.

It seems that Gemini users wanted to avoid ad tech and commercialization and lost all visual communication in the process.
