Web 2 is digital feudalism The platforms hold digital land from the gov’t in exchange for corporate taxes The workers are in paid to work on the platforms, while the users (aka serfs) are obliged to live on the platforms and give homage, labor, and a share of their life, toil away endlessly

A bit provocative: How would Web3 *not* be feudalism? Or rather today the "technofeudalism" that Varoufakis talks about? Techno is the problem. Demos is the people. If the people need the technology to hope getting at Web3, the demos is not "sufficient" to be a citizen anymore.

So only the people who (1) can afford the tech (economical angle), (2) can access enough resource for the tech to exist (physical angle) are Web3 equipped. What about the rest of the Demos? And what about the rents payed to be part of the Web3 sphere.

Simplistic perhaps. Just poking at the ideas to have them get stronger.
