I am glad my not-so-helpful post was not downvoted by those that didn't get the inside joke :)
As a more earnest reply to OP I guess you could say I have been "jaded" about the internet/web since the late 2000s. The rise of social media I never particularly cared for. I enjoy[ed] a very small part of it but the negativity is quite draining and it is far too easy to get sucked into a negative echo chamber than a positive one.
With regards to blockchain and related technologies 'driving Web 3.0' I can't say I care all that much. I think some of it is great but a lot of the hyped parts, such as NFTs, are useless.
Yes, yes I know there are some sensible use cases for NFTs (such as concert tickets) but all this JPG NFT non-sense just makes it look like a bunch of adults getting excited over digital beanie babies.
I guess you could say I do miss the internet from the late 90s to the late 2000s. Perhaps it is just rose tinted memories of when I was a teenager but the rise of Napster then P2P then Bittorrent, then web video services, etc. along with high speed internet was truly amazing.
The early years of Facebook was also pretty nice to reconnect/keep in touch with some people but I would say I 'grew out' of Facebook within about a year, maybe two. I realised I had lost touch with those people for a reason and even with Facebook, Twitter, etc. I lost touch again.
