Wasn’t Web 3.0 supposed to be about using structured data in websites?

The truth is that Web 3.0 turned out to be oligopoly, it's the same shit as Web 2.0 just with less actors. The future will be televized...

If you said to me in the 90s that I would need to recompile my website to javascript in order to keep up with "the cool kids" I would have laughed my ass off, today it's the reality. The WWW ought to stand for World Wild Web.

1. jot down a bunch of buzzwords

2. come up with a buzzword that summarizes those buzzwords

3. put normal words between the buzzwords

4. take the paragraph PR emailed you earlier and insert it about 85% into the text

5. publish to Medium and post on HN

I love the idea of going back to a decentralised Web but I worry about it becoming just a way for the next generation of Silicon Valley kids to make billions. I would like to see more technical posts dealing with the actual workings of decentralised systems, rather than this mindless PR.

TL;DR:

"Web 3.0 is all about a new set of apps and services. It will bring about a new way of doing things, and is the future. These apps will be what everyone is using."

...

"Join us and discuss this utopian future over at ${centralized_platform}!"

"I'm also using ${centralized_platform} and ${centralized_platform}, just like everyone else in the real world, and you can reach me over there too."

How do I interpret this?

This person's actions call into question whether they even believe in the shovelware they're hawking.

If you're going to make a whole post like this, at least have the decency to be that crazy about it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I thought it was all about 3D Websites

Where did you get that impression? I mean, it's quite a leap.

Canvas 3D, Mozilla 2006, Opera 2007

Web GL, 2009 - 2013, Apple, Google, Mozilla, Opera, and others

Web VR, Mozilla, 2014
