The end result is the same, blockchain or not. Which is what I end up not understanding.

I have a tough time thinking of a way around the problem of centralization in general. A centralized entity has a lot of power, but at the same time it seems like the only option at the end of the day. There's plenty of talk of decentralized technologies, but most seem to be smoke and mirrors.

I'm not sure who "ruined web2", nor am I sure if you need the exact same people to "ruin web3", nor am I sure if blaming these people is productive.

If a system can be "exploited" in some way for monetary gain, it will be.

Pointing fingers and blaming people usually doesn't solve anything and usually just exacerbates the problem. This is especially true when there isn't a clear solution presented.

Great for click-bait and "discussions", not that great for productivity.
