You'd have to directly run the web off the tears of children to be more evil than a web that is "driven through money, there is nothing free of charge". Doubly so if you are planning to build this new money-dependent web on top of Free and Open Source Software. If there is any fix to the problems of the current internet, making money a core factor isn't it.

Yes, but It's not about making money the core factor, it's about removing the data driven business model. Check Brave Browser, it's based on blockchain, but it's available for FREE.

Regardless of the goal, the action is the same, putting money at the heart of the web.

And of course Brave is free, for the same reason Google stuff is free, because Brave wants to put ads in front of you. If there is something more scummy than websites filling themselves with ads, it's a browser filling other people's sites with ads. If Brave is the poster child of this new web, then that's a sure sign that the entire idea is flawed from the ground up.

I think you should take a look at Brave advertisement system. It's based on consent of user.
