Exactly if you're leveraging a 3rd party server that's cloud computing, they just rebranded the same old shit and scaled it up and now its a whole new thing.

To me the meaningful improvement to the web would be payments, which bitcoin provides, and then affordable personal servers, affordable mesh nets and satelite internet so you're not cut off and the barrier to entry is not limited to your ISP.

To me it would be like you say device ownership, scrubbing manufacturers firmware,and adding more layers of privacy you feel comfortable with when you own a piece of tech

Web 3 is not

• Using the stock OS
• To login to a 3rd party software
• To query a 3rd party server and blockchain
• That references an image on a 3rd party server and then calling your NFT decentralised

My brain pains when I see these normies who don't know how tech works spout this nonsense
