Let me share maybe a "new" idea here: there is no such thing as web1, web2, web3 .... This is just a need to put a name on something that is a combination of technology and policy and for me does not make any sense. The web is still free: anyone (of course with enough knowledge) can host a blog and share their views. Anyone is free to use or not to use a social media. And in the same time because we operate at scale there are forces that are outside the web that put pressure on the web. There is not one tech thing that can be created yet that will circumvent in any way the forces (political, law, peer pressure ....) that are currently shaping the web. Here is one example: blockchain cannot exist outside the law where it will collide with the law. Because the law is about the people mostly and not about the technology. The same with anonimity: it does not matter if blockchain offers this because when it collides with easyness to access things people will choose easy. I am not saying anonimity is bad or that blockchain is useless. But I am saying any webN concepts will win when things will change in our mindset, our culture and our society. As long as we approach things as they are, webN will not solve our society issues. The same as the Internet did not solved education. I remember when I first encountered Internet in the 90s I learned a lot. Then late 90s everyone was talking about how free access to internet will make everyone smarter and more educated. This did not happened. It created more opportunities but did not changes the structure of our society. People (me included) were spending time with stupid things before the internet and they are still doing it now with the internet. We will continue to spend stupid time with web3 or crypto. As the problem is not technology but human nature. So far technology cannot change human nature. It can speed up our advantages or can make use of our flaws but the will to change is still human. I am not even sure what I am debating there. But this focus on technology is an illusion that we hope to be true as it seems to allow each one of us more control over what happens with humanity, when actually technology is not yet there to help us without us helping ourselves.
