Web2 was born from the ashes of Web1, which crashed under the weight of expectations, cash, and inexperience.
Web2 is still booming. I don't see that bubble popping anytime soon, unless world governments get super serious about regulation.
That's not to say that a web3 couldn't come into the world while web2 is still going strong, but... it seems less likely that we'll see any real transformation until web2 and the tech oligarchies it gave rise to start to falter. Web3 has expectations, cash, and lots of experienced people behind it, but there's little space in the market to occupy because web2 is still thriving. To take a leap, this casually makes me think of the theory around disenfranchised nobility causing the fall of the roman empire...
