"A new blockchain-based internet that abhors huge tech platforms, embraces
digital currencies, and lets individuals control their data and identity sounds
like a lovely idea. But a growing chorus of skeptics are saying that Web3–the
term used to sum up these concepts–is at best highly aspirational and at worst
a flat-out scam.
Some of these critics express their doubts on Substack, or in YouTube rants, or
on company blogs. Others voice their skepticism with their wallets, shorting
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Eth. Molly White, a software engineer and
volunteer Wikipedia editor, has a simpler approach, and it’s a good one.
White has emerged as one of Web3’s sharpest critics by simply compiling Web3’s
day-to-day mishaps and ripoffs–its non-theoretical real-world consequences–at
Web3 Is Going Great, a website (and Twitter account) she created and curates.
The steady stream of these news stories (many of which aren’t covered in
mainstream media) strongly suggests that Web3, in fact, isn’t going as great as
its legions of cheerleaders would have you believe."
