I have yet to see a good example of what “web3” is useful for… honestly this just smells like it’s going to be the next major hype train of 2022.

Just like VR/AR and ML/AI of yesteryear. Note that both of these examples are wonderful pieces of tech but they were blown wildly out of proportion by everyone.

Agreed. It's like when people starting throwing around "blockchain" as the solution for every problem. The same lot has adopted web3 as the thing they are shouting from their soap-boxes, without really understanding the difference between concept, technology and implementation.

"Just like VR/AR and ML/AI of yesteryear."

More like the same silly blockchain ideas that didnt work X years ago, getting recycled with a new buzzwords.

Yes, feel people have forgotten about the Blockchain-for-x period but I suspect it will now make a comeback for the wrong reasons.

We'll need to crowdsource some Big Data for some push content. Luckily it's all Object Oriented so we can run some AR social media code on it. I'll get an IM when it's finished on my 5G.
