If you're talking about visitors to a web3 website, ideally they shouldn't be able to tell if it's web3 or not.
But I believe the value proposition is for people who have spare bandwidth/compute/storage and want to make money. Currently internet infrastructure (like AWS) is largely owned by a few corps. Web3 has the potential to let anybody join, distributing the infrastructure across individual providers like what Uber did to taxis.
Another big one is web3 social platforms like Odysee and Peertube. These are more censorship resistant because they are decentralized.

A sharing economy can (and does!) exist in Web2 though - I've yet to get an answer as to what Web3 gives me over web2 when it comes to these sorts of problems.
