So it's like BitTorrent but you have to pay to use it? It still doesn't get at a concrete use. That's been the problem with blockchain from day 1, it's interesting, there just isn't anything you actually need it for.

I think my point might have been missed. Web3 doesn’t require blockchain, paying to use it, tokens, etc. As coined the term merely means internet services that are more robust. People that prefer web2 (paying for Netflix) will continue to use it and people that prefer web3 (stuff like torrenting) Just because you don’t see a use for blockchain technology doesn’t mean there isn’t one for somebody on the other side of the world in different circumstances.

It's probably because you're not really addressing anyone's concerns. Also hand waving in vague/dubious/nonsensical implications/metaphors like "Torrenting was good, therefor web3 is good". It comes across like a salesman who'll tell you anything just to make the sale. > Just because you don’t see a use for blockchain technology doesn’t mean there isn’t one for somebody on the other side of the world in different circumstances. We know scammers and artificial scarcity exist. We just think these things are objectively bad.
