An important point is that advertising, tracking, all the junk which the OP link demonstrates, is technically not possible in the gemini protocol. It is designed to be minimal and serve text and single media files.
The gemini client is not a site-specific app, but a very lightweight browser for this protocol. All available clients are free and libre open source programs.
