I'll drop this idea again: a pure Markdown version of the web. The Web 0.5 if you will. No fancy markup, lay-outs, popups, GDPR notices, or scary tracking. Just content. Wouldn't that be nice?

I'm suggesting Markdown over plain text to still allow things like headings, emphasis and other semantic markup (and images of course). A subset of HTML would also do. HTML 1.0?
