Facebook and Twitter will soon be obsolete thanks to blockchain technology
Today’s social media landscape is dominated by Web2 corporations — mostly Meta (Facebook (NASDAQ:META)) and Twitter (NYSE:TWTR). The companies collect data from billions of users and collect billions of dollars in revenue from user-generated content. While it’s great for the corporations and their shareholders, it comes at a cost for average users and professional content creators.
But in the near future, decentralized social media — or Web3 — is likely to end that old model by giving power back to users.
