So over the course of a few months, it went from 100x to 10x?
The main page and the description is in a strange meme format, that creates a strawman Web2 Databases (cringe) and then argues that Web3 (but what is it?) is better without any concrete arguments. Is Web3 (or is it web3?) just a new way of saying web-scale, but now with blockchain?

1. Web3 data is different from what most classic databases are optimised for, because of how it's accessed and the (mostly) immutable guarantees.
2. This service is better than other web3 api providers.
FWIW I'm consulting in this space currently, specifically dealing with blockchain data itself and it makes perfect sense to me.
If it helps, you can remove web3 entirely from the problem to understand it. The only thing relevant here is that blockchain data is almost exclusively append-only and so you can build something neater because you've got guarantees that many other problems don't have. The other main thing is that there is a standard API that people provide (read: sell) access to, which can be slow and/or expensive if you've got to pull a lot of data from it.

There are no mainstream applications and there never will be any.
