Most early sites were personal but they weren't blogs. Many of them were even technical, but people made an effort to write for posterity rather than just for today. People wrote a site like they were writing a reference book, even if most of them got bored halfway through.

The fact that grandparent looks at Gemini and sees "10-15 posts per day" rather than "x sites with y pages" is the problem. Today's culture sees anything written on the internet as disposable; at best it's a magazine article, more likely it's a leaflet.
