Web3 failed and needs to go away. I don't know why people are still pushing this idea, the public clearly doesn't want it or care.

(I have no opinion on web3.) That is a poor argument because the internet had been in operation continuously for 24 years (1969 to 1993) before the public started to take an interest.

The early Internet wasn’t founded on the idea of extracting as much money from people as possible, and turning everything into a commodity to be traded. Web3 seems like it’s being driven by people who want to have the entire population addicted to gambling.
That feels much different, and worse, than the early Internet days.

Oh, so you were on the Internet in the early day -- the 1970s?
