At that point, I think ideally, normal users wouldn't know the difference between viewing a normal webpage and a gemini page, until they run into a random inconvenience where a link doesn't work as expected or something.

I just don't know what Gemini has to offer. It's basically a novelty protocol for people who want to pretend it's 1995 again. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't see it having practical use.

Yeah, sounds about right. It's the same deal as those productivity phones with 4 hardcoded apps on them. I suppose there's appeal, because these types of things keep being made.
