If we make a new protocol, millions of pages will use it within a few years; Ain't gonna happen!
The founder says "it’s easy to overstate just how bad things are. Despite the loss of the mailing list, despite the glacial pace of refinements to the protocol specification, statistics provided by the Lupa crawler suggest that since the FAQ was last updated a little over a year ago, the number of Gemini capsules has more than doubled, so too has the number of unique domains hosting Gemini content, and the number of unique IP addresses didn’t quite double but got close."

Summary: The World Wide Web was preceded by several similar hypertext systems, some of which technically superior to it; now that the world's Bloated Web (formerly World Wide Web) gravitates towards proprietary browsers and is basically becoming like Adobe's Flash it makes more sense to embrace Gemini for textual material that's safe to access
