Comment on Can we fix the term “Web3”? It is cringeparent

For that matter isn't the thing that "Web 3" is going to replace "Web 2.0?"

My take is that "Web 3" is a deliberate choice in the sense that the Nigerian scam emails are deliberately badly spelled.

The "Web 3" promoters want to drive away any critical thinking or critical thinkers: they can't afford to have anything between feeling FOMO and pushing the "buy" button.

They don't mind if people on the cluetrain are offended by "Web 3" or Bored Apes or other junk, they only want to speak to people who aren't on the cluetrain.

Thus there is no fixing "Web3", just killing it.
