Honestly, I don't think this applies here, given this is the first sentence:

> What will the distributed data environment in Web3 look like?

As a web developer, I expected an interesting JSON-related post, so I was kind of disappointed by the intro (and it's not just the first sentence, the entire introductory paragraph talks about “web3”)…

Ok, you have a good point, but it doesn't mean you posted a good comment :) - it just means I picked the wrong moderation scolding to reply with. Let me try again: can you please not post unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments? We're trying for a different kind of discussion here.

(That wasn't supposed to sound snarky so I hope it doesn't.)

Surely JSON is going to be an important component of Web3. Web 2.0 was bringing the application to the browser. Web3 is going to be about distributed data architecture and JSON is going to have a big place in that.

In case it wasn't clear from my comments above: I don't doubt JSON may be important for this “definitely-not-the-web”-3. I just don't care about it, and neither does a good half of web developers here on HN.

(And yes, I'm also a bit angry because a bunch of lazy marketing dudes decided to hijack the “Web” name for something which has nothing to do with the web…)

Gavin Wood who came up with the name web3 (as a 'decentralized online ecosystem') has a PhD in CompSci - hardly a lazy marketeer! This one is on the technologists...

Ah yes, a PhD. A PhD on “Content-based visualisation to aid common navigation of musical audio”[1]…

Yet another argument from authority which falls short.

Also, that's probably why his marketing was lazy. At least marketing people usually make efforts to justify their payroll.

So he's not a good enough technologist because you look down your nose at the title of his PhD? Such a strange worldview.

It's an illusion. But I do have a lot of keyboard shortcuts.
