> Web3 should feel no different to the end user than web2

Yes, yes it would feel different. Because every action requires the user to pay.

Please read my post. Take a look at orbis.club. Users are not required to pay gas for every interaction.

Storing content on the blockchain is prohibitively expensive. So "web3" is either using centralized non-blockchain solutions, or users will pay for it.

Running "smart" "contracts" which underpin "web3" is not free.

So yeah. If users only consume content, then web3 can be free for those users I guess.
