These really well built "web3 is dumb" sites seem like peak Streisand Effect, I'm baffled so many people are spending so much time yelling about something they think has "no use-case" and is already doomed to fail...

- jazzyjackson 5y agostill, fighting against something can be a sort of induced anti-demand: people will be attracted to the controversy and might just take up arms against you might be better to let sleeping dogs lie.

Oil/gas/energy loves that everyone is for some reason concentrating on crypto as if it's the biggest polluter on the planet, so they get a break in the media.
- emerged 5y agoPeople will keep complaining about web3 until it stops being stuffed down our unwilling throats.
- koonsolo 5y agoFunny that it keeps popping up on HN then... multiple times a day.
- acdha 5y agoThat's not surprising for a system whose participants won't get their money back unless they can find new people to buy into the system. If you've ever had a relative join an MLM and start posting about the TOTALLY AMAZING products their “business” can sell you, this is very familiar except that you don't even get Target-grade home goods.
- koonsolo 5y agoSorry, but I don't see those posts popping up. I only see posts against crypto and web3. That was my point: complaining about the annoying web3 posts, but they are all negative towards it. If you don't like it, stop talking about it. But somehow, people on HN really like to complain about web3 all the time.
