There may be a place for some of the ideas lumped in under the term "Web3". But the term, as currently defined, is heavily associated with cryptocurrency and blockchains. Which are mostly associated with scams in the minds of people who are aware of them, but did not buy in early enough to have a ton of formerly-worthless cryptocoins become worth absurd amounts of money. If you want to try and redefine this term to not be about cryptocurrency and blockchains, then good luck with that. Realistically I think it would be better to try and make a coordinated push to make some other term a thing, because right now the instant response to "web3" among the non-believers is, at best, an eyeroll, a sigh, and closing the tab. I mean, the current top story on HN while this is on the front page? "$625M worth of ETH drained on Axie Infinity's Ronin Network". That's Web3. Right there.
