Why does web 3 looks like fake Instagram?

You need to look beneath the surface. There is a fundamental difference. In Web3, not everyone can post pictures, only those who are rich. Furthermore, it is decentralized. Decentralized! No government can take away your cat or anime waifu picture! Web3 is also more than that. It is a platform. VCs love platforms. On this platform, anyone can create money and claim it's worth something! If you do this right, you can cash out before anyone notices! Kind of like overvalued startups sold to clueless buyers, but without all the middlemen.

This is the first time I see a strawman as a website.

FYI modern chains cost less than a fraction of a penny to interact with (Avalanche, Matic, ICP) and some don't even require to pay anything (Ceramic). All these tired complaints are getting addressed and development is moving fast, it's about time the anti-web3 crowd catches up to it.

Also, I'd like the author to make welcome2web2, with popups, paywalls, ads and sudden user-hostile feature removal or UI redesigns meant to maximize profits... although it would be a pointless exercise, as one would just need to browse the web as usual to experience it.

Such bs. People like to be the inventor of new terms... "web3" has *NOTHING* to do with 'web'. But hey, web2.0 was a blast in VC world.

If anything, web3 is more like the old internet without the web.. Distributed as in, everybody has a server in their pocket. It's your data, and you decide who has access to it.
