I thought Web 3.0 was about NFTs.

  People are talking that way now. Before what is being called “Web3” ATM Web 3.0 was to be the “semantic web” (where Web 2.0 was the “interactive web” - with many things become read/write instead of read-only and greater interactivity, both in terms of social interactivity and individual interactive apps being web based, being the focus of technological enhancements). This article is talking about that earlier definition, and a way it might once again be the definition, perhaps relegating Web3 to Web 4.0 (or web we-worked-out-it-was-a-ponzi-scheme-so-just-stopped with something else being Web 4.0, if you take the more cynical view).

  "Before the term was hijacked by crypto-grifters (and, admittedly, a few genuinely neat projects), web 3 (point oh) referred to Tim Berners-Lee's project to promote a standard way to expose and parse metadata on the web."
