On: Keep the web free, say no to Web3 (2021)

[exit]

you act as if everything about web3 has to be solved right from the starting gun to have any legitimacy :) there are many different competing consensus mechanism and the balance of trade-offs is still playing out.

The old "it's so new, you expect too much" argument that I have been hearing for years.

How about instead of lauding web3 as being so great for decentralization ... you wait until the ecosystem actually increases decentralization.

Cryoptocurrency advocates have a long, long history of making empty promises that are never filled.

Nobody expects every problem to be solved instantly, but it would be nice if atleast one was solved every once in a while.

Indeed- there were a good number of useful "Web 2.0" sites available out there widely being used before someone came up with the term.
