> In a way with cryptocurrency, the real goal of the investors of web3 is recreating the web with a sort of toll system, that can be good and bad but their aim is collecting on actions on new protocols/standards. One could argue that today's web is a combination of ad-based revenue and tolls run by (near?) monopolies: app stores, marketplaces, ect... The crypto-like alternatives such as substack and patreon are growing though and will likely have a niche even if/when crypto fails. The centralization of those crypto-like alternatives is a risk though. I recall one substack author giving email-export as a rationale to choose substack but that's a feature that presumably could just be turned off whenever.
