That's just your moral crusade clouding your judgement so you can't appreciate the technology.
You're crusading for the kings of Web2, so they don't lose control.
Humanity will be fine, calm down.
- UncleMeat 5y agoI don't think it is wrong to consider the impact on humanity above appreciating technology for technology's sake. The kings of Web3 are the same as the kings of Web2. Big money investors and capitalism more broadly. Web3 accelerates surveillance capitalism. It is all of the mess of Web2 on steroids.
- hunterb123 5y agoNo, web3 allows the users to be operators, it takes power from corps. I'd suggest you research more. Continue to fight the tech tho, wonderful thing about web3 is you can't stop it, no matter who you are. You can certainly organize a public campaign against it though, you're being a useful idiot for them. Take a step back and ask yourself if that passion of hate is yours or someone else's.
- UncleMeat 5y ago> I'd suggest you research more. I've published papers in top conferences on EVM analysis. "Read more" is not an especially engaging topic of conversation. Web3 does not change the systemic barriers that funnel users into platforms and frameworks. It does enable a small number of technologists to become operators while also enabling the rich to turn everything into financial instruments. Yes, some new nerds got to be billionaires. That's the same thing that happened with Web2. Nothing about the fundamentals have changed except now other people can bet on whether I'll buy Product X or Product Y. > Continue to fight the tech tho, wonderful thing about web3 is you can't stop it, no matter who you are. Perhaps not. "You can't stop it" is not itself evidence that something is a good thing.
