Yeah, flying cars to 140 characters and all. This is exactly why I'm not even sightly bullish or excited about web 3.0. There hasn't yet been a popular development in the internet age that hasn't almost immediately turned to shit. There must be a law about how things suck as soon as there's like 100 people involved. Maybe fewer.“I'm obviously not a visionary, but I predicted that the internet would be shitty back in 1999,” Kyanka told Motherboard in 2017. “Everybody was talking about how the internet was going to revolutionize everything and everything was going to be great, but nobody ever talked about how shitty the internet could also be.”
