There are several oversimplifications to watch out, but still interesting.

    What dies “better” mean? If everything is stored on a single server owned by this one company in Mountain View or so, is it better then?

        Nothing and no one is ever infallible. What I say is that the web as we know it is broken in that it has become a walled garden controllled by a few companies. And, yes, a lot of web3 doesn’t appear to change that, it’s just old wine in new bottles. We needed to discuss alternatives to different use case (payment and currency systems, how we monetize apps and other products, data hosting and sharing,. …). Energy efficiency and affordability are important issues, but I want to have choice and don’t want to become dependent on 5 or so companies in whatever I do. If that means that I have to pay, I’d be fine with that.

            Yes, that’s one solution for a specific use case (-:
