That’s a very high bar. There are lots of fun web2 websites that are useless, fun and used by a few people. Also, useful is highly subjective. For example if you are into NFT’s you might find OpenSea popular and useful. If you are not, then you won’t.
- Forgeties79 4y agoHonestly this is a great point. A lot of these discussions can be summed up as “what is your definition of useful?” A gamer, a retail investor, and a backend developer (permit the one-dimensional characters) have very different ideas of what is useful/not useful.
- 2muchcoffeeman 4y agoAre you honestly arguing that Wikipedia or Google Maps can be reasonably argued to be not useful depending on the user?
- Forgeties79 4y agoEase off the throttle a bit man, I'm not sure what the hostility is about. Of course I don't think that, like I said that was a very one-dimensional example. Of course many things work well for many people. But I imagine different professionals have very different idea of what constitutes "useful" on the internet. I guess I just poorly communicated my point, it's whatever. Not like I'm dying on this hill here.
- hans1729 4y agoOh come on. "Useful" is subjective? Either there exists something that serves a purpose to target groups outside of the crypto world or there is not.
