The word 'use' is quite ambiguous. I didn't take it to mean 'use' as in 'play around for funzies', I meant more akin to useful products that make a tangible difference in my life (or any life).

  Ah, gaming consoles must not be things people use then either.

    What makes you say that?

    Game consoles do exactly what they claim: they provide interactive amusements. Web3 is making a lot of claims, but the example given of its utility was only that of an interactive amusement.

They don't enjoy participating in the space, they enjoy avatars and art. And probably spending an absurd amount of money for more or less Auto-Generated art?

that's just a thread of paid picrews. What is the value-add that Web3 offers here? That your avatar comes with a digital slip of paper you can use for speculation? In terms of ownership, so far, I haven't seen any NFT space that actually adds any value over picrews let alone comissioned artwork. There's no legal framework binding the blockchain ledger entry to the copyright of the images and even if it existed, what's the value add over traditional proof-of-purchases?

  Take a look at their community, it's quite interesting. Tokenization opens a lot of doors that traditional models otherwise don't.

    I took a brief look at it and saw nothing to suggest that 'web3' added anything of real value. If you believe there is, then I'd love to hear what it adds that's 1. unique and 2. actually desirable.

You've linked to two traditional web sites. The first one is people sharing auto-generated art of themselves (which you can generate for free through numerous apps and websites), and the second is shilling NFTs.
