The goal is to not be part of the spyweb and to have another separate safe space. Following your suggestion you get:
(a) to be part of the spyweb - so they can still track you via web requests
(b) not part of an independent net - so there isn't a higher proportion of signal, because the content generators are the same and targeted at generating adrevenue, not independent hobbiests sharing information about their interests.
Consequently I don't think it will work.
Gopher would work in the sense that you would notice the transition from a gopher site to a web site.
