It's hard to predict the future, but you should not use your developer's intuition to predict the outcome because it is the public sphere making that decision.

It's hard to predict the future, but you should not use your developer's intuition to predict the outcome because it is the public sphere making that decision. The public sphere can will something into existence, despite good, bad or seemingly impossible logic to make it so. The US political situation is an example of how dysfunctional the situation can be. Considering Web3 and DApps are largely marketing efforts, my guess is the marketing dominated portions of the software industry may end up with some variant of the Web3 DApp promises realized in a terminology stretching, primarily profit driven manner. Video games and social media may end up with something, probably just a series of $40 terms forced over what is essentially trading stamps/cards with complicated rules of use. Nobody knows what is going to happen, really, because this stuff is pure mind games territory.
