Re: "Would Gemini survive an attack by the mainstream commercial..."
There are so many reasons ads can't work on Gemini that it made for a couple of lengthy posts :)
I think if there's any problem on the horizon it's to do with too many people; independent capsules, hand crafted links and an appreciation for the slow might be enough to run well anyway.
I'm not worried, better to focus on enjoying what we have, anyway :)

Just read through the comments on the posts. Great read. Commercial vs mainstream is a good separation, not having hackable popularity hogging metrics or pages is very important I think. Also totally agree on not differentating normal users, Most real people I meet are pretty sensible. I really feel that its the media companies who like putting out absurd stuff to attract attention and trigger (unnecessary) debates and conversations.
And lastly, yes, absolutely love the thought of not really caring much and letting the platform evolve into whatever it grows into. We never know what it might trigger.

I keep wondering...i mean its wonderful that there's this great community of folks and a bunch of pretty useful advice and articles....but what happens when mainstream media and similar folks decide to move in? At the very least i'd imagine that they'd start posting click-baity attention grabbing articles....and overrun places like this - bbs....with their content. Are there any plans in place to prevent stuff like...
