It's just like my grandpa used to tell me: "If the Twitter bros can't shut up about how much money they're making within the blurry paradigm of a so-called technological revolution, there's probably not much going on there."
Today, let's consider the possible reality that web3, the so-called technological revolution du jour, isn't what its evangelists say it is. What if web3 is just a masterclass in over-promise, under-deliver hype tactics? We consider the answer with Ryan Broderick, writer of the Garbage Day newsletter about web culture and host of The Content Mines podcast.
Think we're wrong about where web3 is going? You know where the comments section is.
Like my jewelry in that intro bit? It's sweat-proof, which is exactly what I need with a thumbnail that says "web3's flop era." It's from OXB—feast your eyes on their gorge selection here: https://bit.ly/3PkZIkd
