Too bad HN absolutely loathes crypto in general, because I do see a glimmer of hope in the wild wild West that is web 3
- no_time 5y agoI'd love to expand my horizons but apart from peertube I have yet to see a web 3.0 project that's not some thinly veiled pump and dump coin shilling operation. The disguise may be novel, but the underlying motive is always the same.
- madeofpalk 5y agoSounds what you're complementing is not technologies, but rather just niche communities. There's plenty of "no cookie notices, no ads, no dark patterns" on the normal web. My guess (from zero experience) is that there's more of it on the "web 2.0". There's just lots of other junk also.
- arcatech 5y agoWeb3 is even more money driven than web2.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y ago> Web 3.0 is basically putting all the things on blockchain. > Yeah, fuck that. Fuck blockchain. Fuck Meta. Fuck Zuck the schmuck. That’s all I have to say about that. To expand upon this, I have yet to see a single thing a blockchain solves other than moving money around (usually from the scammed to the scammer). Web 3.0 is doubling down on what made Web 2.0 so shit.
- evergrande 5y agoWeb 2 is centralized big tech serving ads. You are the product and you own nothing. They own your content and can change the rules at will (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/13/technology/instagram-handle-metaverse.html?smtyp=cur https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/13/technology/instagram-hand...). Web 3 is nothing like that.
