>> There must be some examples of something useful and popular that has been built, if it's such a revolutionary technology?

That’s a very high bar. There are lots of fun web2 websites that are useless, fun and used by a few people. Also, useful is highly subjective. For example if you are into NFT’s you might find OpenSea popular and useful. If you are not, then you won’t.

Oh come on. "Useful" is subjective? Either there exists something that serves a purpose to target groups outside of the crypto world or there is not.

They meant useful in general. Forks are useful in general. A stamp database is only useful to stamp collectors and similar.

Honestly this is a great point. A lot of these discussions can be summed up as “what is your definition of useful?”

A gamer, a retail investor, and a backend developer (permit the one-dimensional characters) have very different ideas of what is useful/not useful.

Are you honestly arguing that Wikipedia or Google Maps can be reasonably argued to be not useful depending on the user?

[Forgeties79]

Ease off the throttle a bit man, I'm not sure what the hostility is about.

Of course I don't think that, like I said that was a very one-dimensional example. Of course many things work well for many people. But I imagine different professionals have very different idea of what constitutes "useful" on the internet.

I guess I just poorly communicated my point, it's whatever. Not like I'm dying on this hill here.
