Listened to yesterday's @balajis episode on the @CoinDesk podcast and got inspired to prepare a mini thread on Web1 vs. Web2 vs. Web3 content.
🧵🧵🧵
🧵🧵🧵
Web1: You owned the content, but you didn’t have distribution.
You could set up your own blog on the website myname.com.
But it was hard to reach new people. You could share your posts on forums, IRC chats or e-mail them to friends. But it didn’t scale well.

Web2: You have distribution but don't own the content.
On platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook, you could organically reach millions of people.
But you always risk that they change the algorithm and cut your reach. Or - in edge case - get you deplatformed.

Web3: You own the content, and you have distribution.
You can set up your blog on a platform like @viamirror and be sure it's yours. You can monetize the content and won't get deplatformed for any vague reason.
And you get the platform's distribution.
The best of two worlds.
