Am I the only one who fails to see this “Web5” as anything but a marketing plot to make a product that is doing exactly what every other startup in Web3 is trying to do somehow stand out?
And, web3 is, what, "what if the web, but decentralized"? Yeah that ship sailed, we called it the internet. You probably haven't heard of it, it was before your time.
I hope Rolling Stones will be still around to lend their music for web95 media tour. Seeing how things are going (in rotten minds of marketing people), it's only few weeks away.
Never mind the almost unbearable cringe of incrementing a buzzword by not one, but two counts - do you have an explanation what exactly warrants this increment at all? The only thing in there that I don't remember as "web3" are the decentralized web nodes, and I'm not really sure whether those are new either.
Not trying to be sarcastic, I think topics like DID are important, especially as BigTech looks set to try to kill passwords.
Do these guys realize the stupidity of their own comments and still do it to con the public/investors OR do they really genuinely believe in this bullshittery ?
“Algorithm free” is the “chemical free” of the 21st century.
Said more directly, just as everything in the physical world is made of chemicals, everything in the digital world is made using algorithms. Some program is still enforcing the rules if your system.

You see, it is beneath Jack and Co. to participate in the real work of keeping themselves alive.
Jack recently apologized for his role in centralizing the web but of course he’s going to be a part of the new protocol centralization effort.

The picture shows web2 + web3 = web5.

Solving those problems is worthwhile though I've not checked if it solves for people's benefit, or for the benefit of business only.
