Except for that whole “some communities groups on the site are NFT gated” part, which means that you must first buy a cryptocurrency to buy the NFT.
It’s just like a “free to play” game that will upsell you on in-app purchases at every opportunity. I can’t imagine anyone wants their reading experience to be more like that.
“Web3” really just means “the worst upsell shit from mobile gaming, in every aspect of your life — with the extra bonus that you get to risk losing your money on a scammy crypto exchange!”
