If you're baffled by the idea that most people can live their life by not working, I would suggest skipping directly to the "Network participants: participate-to-earn" for a quick explanation. The idea is basically just a proper redistribution of benefits. That's a bit weird to me since most people in networks are consumers, not creators, and consumers don't really create value, so we show them ads to create value. Maybe the future is about giving to people a bit of the money they generate while watching ads? But aren't those people already getting something by participating in this network for free? For example, if you watch a youtube video with sponsored content, the value you get from watching the sponsorship is the youtube video itself. Maybe it's about distributing the surplus?
Anyways, this confirms again that the crypto/web3/DAO space is not for me. All of that stuff moves way too fast. Donald Knuth said about email: "Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things.". Crypto is making me realise that my role in life may be to be on the bottom of things.
