If that is truly the case, the article should not have been written. A naïve person should not write on something so important. But...

Have you really studied the claims put forth? What I've read makes me believe my take is absolutely correct. If you know any good articles or videos debunking any of the following, please do tell.

Perhaps the most informative video I've ever seen on blockchains, NFTs, bitcoin, etc, which is supposed to be the heart of Web 3.0: Line Goes Up – The Problem With NFTs. It is one of the best-researched, most informative videos I've ever seen on the subject. And it is among the best-researched videos I've ever watched. Period.

And two articles which support Web 3.0 being a bunch of hype without much real substance:

Unpicking The Hype Around Web 3, What’s The Tech? | Hackaday

Web3 is the future, a scam, or both: The crypto and NFT rebrand, explained - Vox

And further supporting the fact that the claims behind blockchain/etc. has been a scam, the downfall of NFT prices pretty much sums it up. I urge you to at least watch the video.
