Solarpunk and web3 (slrpnk.net)

Note: I might just be uneducated on the subject.

When I read about web3 with blockchains, smart contracts and dapps, all sounds very promising. But once you look for any real world applications it is just some obscure things that kind of only exist to support the decentralized system. I guess that makes sense, but are there any actual real world uses for that? Like day-to-day things that make a persons life easier, not harder?

No. Web3 is a marketing scam designed to sell crypto tokens. The tokens are also scams.

Being uneducated on web3 is like being uneducated on the benefits of Amway. Some information isn't worth the neurons it takes to store.

I'm afraid being uneducated on web3 makes a lot of non-tech people vulnerable to scams. And as the arseholes keep inventing new terminology for their scams it can be difficult to keep track of things. It's good to confirm from time to time that there are still no benefits to Amway, or crypto stuff.
