At what point are people going to stop pretending that "Web3" technology is going to have some profound, revolutionary impact on our day to day lives similar to the internet? Everything that Web3 accomplishes can already be done quite easily with existing technology, it's just that you can't "trust" that whoever owns the servers that it runs on wont' shut it down or change things up.

Why has this gotten so overblown and why do people have such difficulty admitting that several servers that hold redundant copies of information isn't much more exciting or interesting than one server doing it?

I haven't looked into IPFS much, but even if there existed a censorship-resistant file sharing service, what does that mean?

>>54137675
>commoditization of data
What are you talking about? All data is already "commoditized" by the fact that websites serve ads to users. In your example, explain to me exactly how you are going to get paid for making 4chan posts. We'll even assume some kind of strong KYC exists so, now, no one can access the internet anymore unless they're using their real identity. That sounds GREAT!

From that point, explain to me the dynamics of who is paying you for your 4chan posts and why they are paying you and how making posts on 4chan is sustainably valuable.

>DJ on the radio says your favorite song is going to play on the hour. WOW! Hurry and run to grab blank cassette so you can record the song in your car on the way to work (otherwise your only option to hear that song would be to drive to the mall and pay $12 for the full album which is 90% garbage).
>Hop out of bed and put on the TV to hear the morning news. Flip to MTV to watch a music video. Flip to Comedy Central and watch a D grade standup comic do a set that you've already seen twice while you cook breakfast.
>Grab your rolodex so you can dial your boss's number on your kitchen phone
>"Hey Boss! Can you give me the directions again on how to get to the office where our meeting is? It's off of Exit 69, right?
>scribble shitty directions on notepad, hoping they're right.
>quickly skim through the newspaper
>Go outside, say hi to neighbor and have a brief chat about the game last night as it is completely normal to interact with other humans.
>Get in car, hoping the directions you've written down are good. Make sure you have quarters handy in case you have to stop at a pay phone to clarify anything.
>Really dreading all of the bills you have to pay that afternoon since you don't even have any stamps, envelopes, or checks and you'll have to run several errands after work

>Be average person in 2022
>Wake up naturally. You WFH so you can do your work whenever you'd like
>Grab phone immediately and mindlessly scroll through your favorite BS content. Check your email. Check your crypto. One hour goes by and you figure you should get out of bed.
>Finally respond to your text messages. You haven't verbally spoken to anyone in at least five days, let alone interacted face to face with another human.

Maybe. I don't think its impossible to code in rules where things balance out, since we have decades of insight on how mmo economies end up amd examples of interventions.

But not every massively online game needs an economy. Mobage have shown us hundreds of MMO-likes that don't allow trading between players. Not saying that's ideal but its a consideration. I think the first web3 autonomous games would be suited to resemble mobile games at first anyway

>Jerk off to more porn. "What is that porn star who looks like megan fox's name?" Google it. You don't have much need to commit anything ever to memory anyway.
