Yes, static pages existed, but so did non-static pages, ie the forums, chatrooms, and other sites I mentioned. Since non-static pages existed, that means the web wasn't "readonly".
And, no, I'm not missing the point, all those that repeat these same web3 talking points (and this site gets a couple of these articles every day) are missing the point. The only thing that changed about the web between the so-called web 1.0 and web 2.0 is that web devs started using AJAX to update individual parts of a page instead of updating the whole page. That's it. And that's not an opinion, that's a fact; I and many others where there at the time pointing out "web 2.0" as nothing more than a marketing term that misunderstood AJAX.
If the main point is that the web is evolving, then just say that. No need to make up eras of the web that didn't actual exist or bring back meaningless marketing terms that had thankfully died out. Spout web3 stuff all you want, but please stop spreading these lies about web history.
