Web 3.0 is a joke

  • Web 3.0 has too many problems, with the main one being it's tied directly to cryptocurrencies such as ethereum which are basically unusable due to gas prices. The term web3.0 has been hijacked by crypto and nft bros. I feel we can easily build a cheap web 3.0 filled with decentralized applications without being forced to use the blockchain or ethereum.

    Web3 can be built without "blockchain" or any other buzzword nonsense. The problem is, a platform that allows people to "own" what they buy requires people to develop content for it. You think EA games, Valve, Take Two Interactive, etc are gonna build games for "web3" knowing they have less control? Nope. You think movie studios will allow you to "own" your digital purchases?

    I've been a software engineer for a little over 10 years now and I honestly think crypto/blockchain stuff is just interesting to a lot of developers so they try to shoehorn it into something just so they can work with it. They're in denial because its new and cutting edge so it "must be" better, etc... The only real use case I can think of for blockchain stuff right now is a transaction ledger on a private/proprietary blockchain between parties unwilling to trust one another or unwilling to trust the same 3rd party. That is an extremely niche use case, and one where I would really question why those parties want anything to do with one another anyway if they have such a lack of trust like that. All of the other decentralized stuff can be done more easily and more efficiently with non-blockchain stuff. We could develop a set of open source standards for things like...social APIs. That would allow multiple social media services to work with decentralized content fully owned by users and hosted elsewhere. You don't need blockchains for that. You don't need blockchains for NFTs either. All you need is some agreed-upon protocol/API, and right now I do not see any intrinsic benefits of the blockchain/crypto implementation over other implementations.

I joined this industry because I needed a job while being a student, and I encountered this opportunity. I've been asking myself everyday what's the point of what we are doing. It doesn't bring any real value to the world. For example, all the projects that work with us now are stupid nft games, nft projects or crypto gambling aka cash grabs. I thought that maybe I'm a newbie and too unexperienced to see the value of blockchain. I am so glad that real developers with years of experience are confirming my thoughts.

      @@andradaamaria sorry to hear that, it sounds frustrating. It might still be valuable to consider some of the high-level "ideals" of the crypto ecosystem and how you might implement those *without* a blockchain. Some of the broad concepts tied to crypto right now (decentralization, federated trust, etc...) have merit for certain use cases, but as mentioned in the video and in my comment, you can often implement those in a better way *without* blockchains. So, you might be able to take some of what you've learned about crypto and apply it to other architectures to make something new and interesting that isn't tied to the issues/hype of crypto stuff. Mastodon is a good example of something new/interesting that feels similar to the promises of crypto, but doesn't use crypto/blockchains to implement it.

However, sometimes it feels like the Web 3 industry is a scam and not regulated with any real goals and I’m wasting my time. Also, the gas fees and transferring different funds to wallets and exchanges seems really overwhelming and unorganized. I will say the web 3 and blockchain market continues to grow each year and the salary looks good. A part of me doesn’t want to miss out on web 3 development/security in case it takes off, I want to get in early. However, the industry hasn’t really matured enough or shown any real goals besides saying we own our own data. It’s also worth mentioning that our funds in hot wallets can also be hacked into, so I guess we have to wait and see how the whole web 3 industry plays out.

I dont understand how Web3 or crypto can help other than P2P. I can see the point of Blockchain in regards to voting. I love that idea. Where trust and transparency is key. However I echo your thoughts from a layman/luddite standpoint and really felt like it was "just me" like I'm too slow to get it. But the actually experience of using crypto is complex (each token/system is it's own universe). You can make fatal mistakes at any point and lose all your crypto (which network do you want to use...? Uh, the one that works!) The fees (started with 550 dollars and ended up with 500 once my coins were where I wanted them) etc. Theoretically crypto is exciting. But in practice I feel like I'm suddenly in a bad part of town and I have to hold my bag close to my chest and run!😂

      The contracts you are describing that aren't immutable are called proxy contracts and considered bad practice by anyone who cares about decentralization.
      It is very easy to see when a project is using a proxy.
      Your problem, is focusing on what you see the main selling point of decentralization.
      Everyone has there own and everyone is attempting to achieve that in different ways.
      If your goal is to be financially decentralized, replacing payment processors with crypto payments is the best way.
      It makes sense that you, the youtuber, only cares about decentralized hard-content storage.
      Which could be achieved with on-chain user profiles, linked to ipfs nodes of your videos.
      Then you have the problem that if youtube wants to unpin that node whenever, they can.
      But there is also nothing stopping you from pinning the node yourself to guarantee your content stays up. There are also free pinning services available.
      5 years ago most of this would not have been possible, and ipfs wouldn't exist if it weren't for "crypto/web3" devs working towards decentralization.
      The "if it's not perfect it's worthless" is a great way to discount the progress made.

      It was a nft contract on mainnet I literally helped a client deploy and it was about .33 eth at the time and eth was around 2k, so yes, a contract can be expensive. Sure, you can deploy your little side projects to polygon, but most people want to buy and sell nft using eth and not some off chain crypto. It does have some use cases, but like you even said “the price will come down” is the response we always see, but it haven’t come down. It’s a speculative market which means fake inflated prices. I’m not discrediting crypto. I’ve been able to pay people in other countries using crypto, so it has good uses, I’m just saying there is a lot of hype around a tech that can easily be made with todays web technologies. The issue is people always assume big corp is bad so we need to keep all data off of companies. If the company is bad, don’t use them or make your own product.
      In regards to your ipfs idea, it makes sense, but in reality, even if I host my video links on the chain and have ipfs nodes, who is going to watch them? Sure I’ll have tons of videos no one can censor or remove, but why if no one can easily browse for them? You need a lot of technical knowledge to browse the chain manually, or you need a third party community to build a tool to find my videos, then I need to convince people to download this third party tool so they can see my videos. At that point we have reached a form of centralization again because someone owns and manages that tool. If someone makes a website to help people find my videos, again, it’s owned by a single entity who can easily filter out my videos. It’s a good idea in theory, but in practice it’s useless because having access to my videos isn’t as important as allowing people to stumble upon my videos. CZcams provides me a service by giving me access to viewers, so I need to play by their rules. At the end of the day, the only argument I can find is for people trying to publish highly politically controversial videos or illegal videos.

A new erc standard could be made so there could be many platforms like there are for nfts or erc20 tokens.

Its called "currency" but nobody is using it as such just as pure investment speculation to pump and dump its not different from any other derivative trading just more riddled with scams and rug pulls. And on top of that valued and converted to that "bad" fiat its supposed to crash.

    i think you make some great points. I'd like to talk about my thoughts on this.
    1. ethereum gas fee is expensive that's why there are other alternative blockchains addressing this issue.
    2. international transfer can be easier and cheaper using blockchain, some countries have strict foreign exchange control, for example, in China, one can only exchange 50000 USD a year. and for many people, it's a good way to mitigate inflation caused by sanctions, war, etc. (of course I'm talking about stablecoins)
    3. privacy: you can basically create unlimited amounts of wallets and before tornado cash was banned you can always use it to send money to your new wallets to avoid tracking. not sure how to do that after the ban thought, i guess there should be a way.
    4. ipfs is a good use case, as you mentioned. If you like your application more decentralized you can also deploy your front end code to ipfs and run it there too.
    5. upgradable smart contract: as a user you need to be cautious when using unaudited upgradable contract. as a builder, there are ways to make upgrading smart contract more decentralized like using DAO contract as owner of smart contract, only upgrade approved by the community can be deployed.
    I'm no expert on this topic, to me the worst thing in web3 is scams, there are just so many of them. it probably doesn't live up to its hype right now but there are definitely interesting projects out there.

    I wish you were are right. It's not about crypto, it's never been about the crypto and the smart contract layer was in the works for decades before blockchain came around with bitcoin. its about cyber-physical interface and keeping all the track and trace data sets on interoperable blockchain ledgers, essentially decentralized cybernetic domination . All this crypto stuff is a distraction. Did you read the soul bound tokens white paper? Thats important.

      Exactly. The amount of “watch me build a web3 app” videos on CZcams is concerning. Just because you accept ethereum for payment doesn’t make your app decentralized. There is very little reasons to store things on an immutable data store that can’t be achieved with sql.

    I found your video as I was checking if anyone is talking about this or not. This is something to be said out loud. Web3 is so much hyped up, there will be a giant crash coming up when the fog clears. I understand how this makes a little sense theoretically, but this is no way feasible in the current state of things, web3 is supposed to be research led and not business led. It has no place in the public domain currently should be researched privately just like any other technology in its nascent stages.

    I will be honest when I first heard I thought it was going to be p2p websites. Once I dug deeper to find out how it would work I found it wasn’t as good as I thought. If it was p2p then search engines should be free. There would have to be some sort of DNS server or ranking system or something. How else are people going to find your site? The selling space on your computer or a bank is a good idea. And you still could make money on adds on you site if you want. Your site should be free to host from your home computer.

    Since the competition in the NFT market is increasing rapidly, collections have to bring innovations other than art, that is, they have to make technological innovations. In this way, real-life difficulties are discovered and solutions are developed both for the chain itself and for these problems. We have not yet reached the stage where blockchain technology will move into real-life use, but within a few decades, it will first be integrated into existing technologies (many companies are already working on it), and then we will transition to a completely decentralized world. Until then, we will continue to work on community building and value creation(regardless of social or technological) through NFTs.

    • @WebDevCody
      @WebDevCody  Pƙed 2 lety +2

      Right, I think all of this tech has potential, but right now, today, it’s not worth the massive amount of funding it currently has. People are betting on technology that has little use at this point. Not everything can be decentralized or needs to be. Having a central authority has many benefits, including if someone steals my credit card and spends $500 on it, I can usually get that money back from their fraud department. Good luck doing that with crypto. Also, for a NFT to be useful, such as using a NFT for house titles, you need a central service to enforce the meaning behind the NFT. If the government doesn’t respect the values of the smart contract, it’s useless.

    I don't understand why people want decentralization. Imagine you have a decentralized metaverse and because it is decentralized the users are the owners they have tokens and users can collectively shape the future of the metaverse . Suppose this metaverse is a massive hit and lot of people are there on this metaverse . Now when you want to make experience on the metaverse better and upgrade it then since there are a lot of users they will have different opinions and thoughts on how the metaverse should be upgraded . There will be a lot of confusion and chaos even after you vote. How is this good then? make me understand if I am wrong

    The entire concept of a decentralized web app or service is just a lot of nonsense. Any piece of code requires hardware resources somewhere and that hardware doesn't just exist. They have to be manufactured and procured by someone and once that happens it is considered centralized (e.g. private ownership). Once the app is live, the owner needs to express the T&S for the use of the codebase. This entire way of building software cannot simply be put on its head. Maybe in some bizzarro-communist-style utopia where people will gladly build thousands of servers for free and thousands of software developer will build all the apps in a decentralized fashion and nobody owns anything then I'm all for Web 3.0.

    • @WebDevCody

    1- why a 19 years old has to work 300 years to buy a house?
    2- why Google/CZcams/Facebook/Amazon is free?
    3- who is going to own AI?
    If you are willing to work 30 years and buy 10% of your fathers house with it, then go for web 2. You don’t have to forge into web 3.

      I live in the US so I’m safe from daddy Trudeau for now, plus I got the vaccine and I’m not working towards brining down my own country’s economy by blocking roadways. I’m not saying it doesn’t have potential, but I’m saying in its current state now, it’s not reflecting the millions of dollars that’s being poured into it. Sure, one day I hope to buy my bread with crypto and not have it drop 30% in value over night or need to wait 15 minutes for the cashier to say I’m good, but until that point we just have a huge fragmented community all creating new crypto coins just as a cash grab. If crypto cared about the people, ethereum would have switched to PoS a long time ago and found ways to reduce gas prices.
