Fuck web3



originally a comment on Lobste.rs


What pisses me off about the people promoting “web3” is that they assume the future of the web is __artificial scarcity__. It’s a 180 from the promise and reality of the web - that information, on the margin, is free to reproduce infinitely. Instead of the values of open source and CC0 content we’re supposed to believe that card collectors and stock speculators are the ones to shape the future.


There is nothing in the debased vision that these people present that attracts me - and I say that as someone who is fully prepared to pay money for goods and services online. I refuse to pay inflated prices to greedy middlemen who will just clear-cut field after field of creative endeavor to pump their useless tokens.
