One of the theoretical goals of Web3 to my understanding was the (rightful) destruction and replacement of centralized marketplaces that hold near-monopolies.
Companies like eBay, AirBnB, Uber that have a massive first mover advantage and use it to extract very high fees from the sellers.
Web3 seemed like a potential way to open these marketplaces up. Am I wrong about this?
you're not wrong about this and much of the negative sentiment directed at web3 comes from establishment players of one form or another opposed to being disrupted.
it's also clownish to expect bitcoin/crypto/web3 to have delivered 100% on their potential this early. a lot still has to be figured out.
