    Capitalism has grown unhinged… literally dominate the world market through manipulation then launch ANY product and people will rush to buy some share of it even if you control and create demand because it’s a purely virtual space. Also I had to read like half this article to confirm it was saying what it really was saying because it’s technojargon. Just say people are paying Meta to have specific lots of digital real estate. Don’t call it regular real estate, it’s not actual land.

    Tbh I’ve been kind of turned off of Web3.0, mostly because of the Metaverse stuff that’s been going on (well, that and the crypto talk). Like I would love the internet to improve and get better as Web1.0 did when it moved to our current Web2.0 but now that I’m seeing Web2.0 prepare to move into Web3.0, I’m just seeing capitalism. Like it’s just capitalism all the way down.

      I think that the timeline web1 -> web2.0 is already wrong, it’s all just words. Corporate websites have continually gotten worse for years.

        That’s fair, Corporate website are always annoying to look at and also just in terms of capitalism have also just gotten worse (or better depending on how you look at it). I do like the accessibility that’s been offered to those looking to get into the web space with Web2.0 where we can host something like Lemmy or I can make my own website with GitHub pages and pay for a domain hosting. But I think where Web3.0 differs from this viewpoint is that now you get to monetize everything. Including the ability to host on your site. So like it feels like on paper (and if you remove capitalism from the picture and also like find a way to make things energy-efficient), Web3.0 could work and could be nice, new innovation. But just like life, capitalism seems to find a way.
