A Brief History of Web Versions
Ever since Mark Zuckerburg pitched the Metaverse, the "Web 3.0" buzzword blew up, describing a "Web" that is backed by cryptocurrency-like ledgers. Proof of work, proof of stake, etc. NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are also involved in a scene like this.
What in this picture is an evolution of existing Web technology? How does this enhance the state of hypertext? To me, this is Meta's vision for their next Web product. It is not a new version of an existing, open platform. It has nothing to offer me as a programmer, gamer, writer, or server admin. It seems to be the mixture of NFT scamming, VR, and botnet. It looks like an addiction chamber for whales.
