**What Is Web3 and Why Should You Care?**
Gizmodo's David Nield explains what Web3 is, what it will mean for the future, and how exactly the third-generation internet differs from the first two. An anonymous reader shares an excerpt from his report: Let's cut to the chase: For Web3 evangelists, it's a revolution; for skeptics, it's an overhyped house of cards that doesn't stand up to much scrutiny.

@eldersnake Don't worry Web 3.0 is a pile of bullshit. Just like Web 2.0 was a pile of bullshit -- It was mostly just to do with using AJAX everywhere! 😂 Remember jQuery? 😅 -- The thing that irritates me about this story, is that by making DHT(s) and Blockchain technologies prolific and _trying_ to claim this is "decentralised web" is utter bullshit IHMO. These are "distributed" systems at best, not a form of decentralization. The 51% problem comes to mind as does the fact N nodes have to be up for anything to work. 🤦‍♂️

@prologic I not only remember jQuery, I still use it for the sliders in my old Spotify playlist making app at https://spup.giltch.me along with the newest version of Bootstrap 4. 😂

It was originally using some ancient version of jQuery, that didn't even work on phones without a workaround and some old version of Bootstrap 3, but I do everything I can to keep it safe and up to date. Maybe one day, I'll even force myself to rewrite the jQuery part out of it, but it definitely won't be any day in the forseeable future. 🙃
