>> "Now, web3 is a broad wildcard term that seems to revolve around a large number of concepts including decentralisation, self-sovereignty, privacy, free speech, censorship, security, BigTech, BigGov, democracy, human rights[3], monetisation, royalties, art, trust, digital rights, ownership, assets, property, proofs, cryptography, wallets … all somehow connected to a blockchain. One would be hard pressed to think of another technology term that refers to so many diverse, deeply interesting concepts."
Compare to web 2.0 which simply referred to moving from pages that needed an entirely new load to do anything to pages that updated dynamically with a newly-standardized piece of functionality. Web3 has been overloaded in the same way most fake medicines have been. Web3 is essential oils for gullible nerds.

- Kye 4y agoMaybe my memory is fuzzy, but 1.0 was all about people making the content. Or at least promising content with under construction GIFs. Everyone had a guestbook on their page. Some people even had forums and/or a blog. Everything/Nothing (E/N) pages were all the rage.
