#how to invest in web 3.0

Browsing the World Wide Web

Browsing the World Wide Web

One of my favorite passions is creating/finding ways to navigate the web that are healthy, authentic, and fun! Here are some resources I use to guide my internet usage. Some language has been slightly adapted for tone and accessibility. For more in-depth reading, follow the links! (taken with permission from https://yair.garden/browsing). Shared Ideals

MelonKing has an excellent list of shared ideals which I try to keep in mind as I browse the web. It's a great starting point!

Creativity is First: We see the ability to design, decorate, and graffiti digital spaces as essential and powerful.

The Internet is Fun: We want the Web to be a playground that's free to explore and enjoy.

Corporations are Boring: We are tired of the monetization, data abuse, and endless breaches of trust in corporate culture.

The Web is Friendly: We believe the Web should be friendly and supportive; caring is a radical act.

Right to Repair: We value the freedom to make, break, and repair our stuff - tinkering is a form of debate and protest.

One World Wide Web: We want free open knowledge and global connectivity, without paywalls, bubbles, or borders.

Chaotic Effort: We believe that value comes from the time and effort put into projects they love for no reason other than love.

No to Web3: In many (but not all) situations, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, unfairly trained AIs, and buzzword tech are unwelcome and uncool.

Manifesto for a New Web

The YesterWeb is an organization seeking to progressively transform internet culture and beyond. After two years, they created three core commitments and three social behavior guidelines to benefit everyone.

A commitment to social responsibility and partisanship.

A commitment to collective well-being and personal growth.

A commitment to rehumanizing social relations and reversing social alienation.

50 additional manifestos can be found here Social Etiquette

Engage in good faith.

Engage in constructive conflict.

Be mindful of participating in a shared, public space.

Why say no to Web 3.0?

One of the shared ideas of our community of web surfers is to push back against "Web 3.0". Here's why:

It's driven by predatory marketing tactics.

It requires complex technological and financial knowledge to fully understand.

It is actively harming the environment.

It caters to early adopters and whales.

It profits off artificial scarcity.

Investors are banking on Web3, and they really don't want to be wrong.

How to Browse and Surf the Web

Explore Beyond Corporate Sites: While the internet is vast, the majority of users only see a small fraction dominated by large corporate sites. These sites often prioritize shock value and extreme content, overshadowing the richness of the wider web. Explore alternative avenues to discover the internet's diversity.

Search Engines: Avoid corporate search engines like Google. Instead, consider using alternatives like Kagi, which focuses on privacy and doesn't sell your data. While it costs around $10/month, Kagi offers a diverse mix of web content, making it a worthwhile investment for varied search results. Other niche or non-commercial search engines can also provide unique content. While they may not be sustainable for daily use, they're great for discovering new sites. Find them here.

Webrings: Webrings are collections of websites united by a common theme or topic. They offer a unique way to explore sites created by real people, spanning a wide range of interests. Here are some of my favorite webrings:

Hotline Webring

Retro Webring

Low Tech Webring

Geek Webring

Soft Heart Clinic Mental Health Circle ...and here are some list of webring databases to explore!

Curated List of 64 Webrings

Neocities Webrings

Curated List of Active Webrings

Comprehensive List of 210 Webrings

Cliques/Fanlistings Web Cliques/Cliques are groups which you can join usually if you fulfill a certain task such as choosing an animal or listing your astrological sign. Fanlistings do the same for fans of various topics! You can then be linked on the clique's/fan group's site for further website discovery! Here are some web clique directories:

Project Clique

Cliqued

Fanlistings Network

5. Link Directories

Many sites have smaller link directories of buttons where you can find sites that they are "mutuals" (both creators follow each other) and "friends/neighbors" — sites they follow. It's a great way to build community. There are also larger link directories of sites which someone finds cool, and it's a great way to intentionally explore the web. Here are some of my favorites:

SadGrl Links

Melonland Surf Club

Neocities Sites

Onio.Cafe

Though there are many more! 6. Random Site Generators

Finally, there are random site generators which allow you to randomly stumble upon websites. While not very practical, they are a lot of fun and offer a unique way to discover new corners of the web.

A list can be found here

What now?

The next question you have is probably how can you become an active member/contribute in this world of the underground web? I unfortunately don't have the energy to write a guide right now but it will come soon! In broad strokes, consider making a site on Neocities. If you do make a site, remember to include a robots.txt file to get AI and bots out of there and don't forget to rate your site so we can know who it's for. If you'd like to transition off social media I recommend an RSS Reader such as the one at 32bit.cafe or on Fraidycat (guide on this to come soon as well!). For your twitter-fix you can always post a status at Status Cafe and your mood at imood. There is a whole world out there full of passionate and friendly people who are ready to reclaim the web. Excited to see you there!

Honestly it upsets me that web 3.0 was taken by crypto bros back when they wanted to set the earth on fire and call it an investment when the term works SO well to describe the enshittification of the internet

Web 2.0 was when website devs were like "hey let's make APIs so that people can do fun things with them and all our websites can function together" and then the term was to describe how the old internet was dead (positive), similarly web 3.0 could say the same thing except the old internet is dead (negative)

Web 3.0 should be all about "hey that above stuff really sucks and the internet is now just like 10 corporations in a dick measuring contest" and not just to refer to that time tech bros thought their new buzzword was the answer to literally everything

[aesthetically0b5essed]

Web 3.0 solves all of it's problems including being decentralized so websites can never be shut down or sued because there is nobody to sue. Immutable ledgers so that information about any blockchain can never be faked. It's completely transparent with triple entry accounting. Advertisements would be negotiated with a decentralized autonomous organization instead of a person so it can't be influenced. You can't gain an unfair advantage and anyone could do this. You could run an advertisement that sends someone to your virtual store in decentraland. Nobody gains favor based on their buying power. The network operates based on an algorithm. The blockchains can't be manipulated. Information can't be faked and everything has an absolute timestamp on every transaction that occurred on the network. So it's a system that the government absolutely hates and doesn't want to happen but it is going to. Decentralization is bad for big business but it is good for everybody else. You see how they censor everything going on in Gaza. They're manipulating how the media is portraying blockchain. They tie it to cryptocurrency which itself is a bad word. All the tokens have different use cases. And yes some are shit. Dogecoin is one of them. But decentralized currencies are a major threat to Fiat currency which is why our government has been trying to associate them with money laundering and crime but the old people in charge are starting to realize they cannot stop this. With the recent Bitcoin ETF they're basically saying America is going to do its best to control this currency too. An Ethereum ETF is also on the way. Companies like BlackRock and Grayscale are investing billions of dollars every single day for a reason. They basically manage the assets of the majority of major corporations on the planet.

building the decentralized web 3.0

how ethereum could shard the web Given the state of our 25-year old web and all the problems inherited from legacy 1970’s systems design, we should pause and take inventory of those components which are fundamentally broken and would offer a substantial return on development investment. Intersecting this concern with security, privacy, and censorship resistance, it should be painfully obvious…

AI-powered tools like Adobe's Sensei and other automation technologies will assist designers in streamlining repetitive tasks, providing them more time for creativity. Graphic designers who can integrate AI into their workflows will have an edge, especially in areas like image generation, pattern recognition, and data visualization.

AI might also allow for more personalized content design, catering to user preferences on a deeper level.

5. E-commerce & Web Design

E-commerce Growth: With the continued rise of online shopping, graphic designers will play a crucial role in designing attractive, user-centric e-commerce websites, product pages, and digital storefronts.

Web Design Evolution: As web technologies advance (e.g., with Web 3.0 and decentralized platforms), there will be an increased need for graphic designers who can adapt to new frameworks and deliver cutting-edge digital experiences.

Skills in Demand for Graphic Designers in 2025:

The graphic design industry in 2025 will be characterized by a mix of technology-driven innovation and a greater focus on personalized, interactive content. Designers will need to adapt to new tools and stay ahead of evolving design trends, but the opportunities for those with the right skills and creativity will be abundant.
