So the past of the internet?

The original web 3 was supposed to be a return to form of web 1, with the good stuff of web 2 and decentralized. Then cryptobros hijacked it

it would be interesting to have some kind of study about which one is more popular these days, the fedivetse or the cryptobro web 3

I don't think I've really seen any literature about web3 that wasn't a crypto scam in a trench coat. Do you have any links or info about the original goals of web3?
