I'm no Web3 proponent, but hard disagree here -- I think Fred is onto something clear. - Current experience is that most folks do not own their own domain or do not have audiences that will consume the content on their own domain, they instead depend on content being copied and distributed on other platforms. - Threat is that modern AI makes it much easier to convincingly impersonate you on other platforms -- including robust profiles and statements that match your style or even tweak real content. - Web3 potentially offers a platform-neutral, globally accessible place to claim ownership of content itself, so that people know if they are viewing a primary source or something edited. There is a TON of productization to be done and a network effect problem to solve (there must be a simple, widely used protocol for verification that can either be used by everyone or built into trusted tools). But the value prop for a public signature ledger is not some fantasy IMO.
