Since the term “Web 2.0” was coined in 2004, it has changed the way we use the Internet. This is a key stage in the transformation of the Internet from “read-only” to “interactive”, allowing users to post content, like and comment on it, and participate in collaborations – an era of universal creativity.
In web 2.0 anyone could upload videos, write blogs, and post comments, like YouTube.
And people can also like and comment on other people’s work. Allowing creators to see feedback. These features have created a web ecosystem where everyone is involved and content is exploding.
As we move into the 2020s, the Web is becoming smarter and more diverse. There are a few notable changes:
content can be created using ai, or even completely ai. And the data is more in the hands of the creators. Previously, it was basically owned by the platform. And there are Btc, doge and other digital assets.
Web 2.0: you upload a video → the platform recommended to the audience → the advertising revenue belongs to the platform.
Today: you generate a video → upload it to a chain or decentralized platform → viewers reward you with digital currency.
