> I think it demonstrates how little attention Web3 should be getting

Let people decide for themselves where to pay attention to? I remember "Internet" receiving a lot of hype in 1998 when most of the people didn't have any clue about what that actually entailed.

> The original promise of the Internet and Web 2.0 had clear use cases, where you could understand and appreciate the improvements to every day life

Hahaha, but no. Where I was in 1998, hardly anyone had any idea what Internet was about and yet there was a lot of hype. In the early days, I remember using it only for porn, random email forwards and chats. The way I use it now (searching for anything and everything, buying majority of the stuff I need, payments of all kinds, investments, ...) was unimagined.

> I don’t see any of that with the web three.

Have you ever considered that you could be wrong and that in a couple of decades, there might be something really interesting out of Crypto / Web3?
