People will pile in here and argue in all earnestness that stirring the pot and making an earnest, snarky, and (maybe) contentious point out in the open is not an effective manner of brushing up against the “discourse”. But they’re wrong. In a world where data brokers can (and will) shake out your whoIS info for the right price which can cost you personally, I commend any effort to re-frame the conversation and “speak truth to power” as corny as that sounds. This type of thing is an actual example of effective altruism. You’re not saving the snow leopard, sure, but it’s important to do what you can as much as possible. Web 3 is a marketing grift aimed at high-minded idealism with one goal: to turn your lights off in the name of the next “new thing” because god forbid you don’t get in on the first floor.
