Reading The Post Web by Outlier Ventures has proved interesting, particularly from a Web3 UX point of view. 

Web3 as a 'backend revolution' never intended for direct human interaction, but simply a set of new protocols being one of the interesting arguments. 

It does make you consider UX in web3 systems, and whether we are expecting too much of new users, that the learning curve is too steep. 

Between understanding wallets, gas fees, different chains, unintelligible smart contract function and blockchain explorers - it's a total nightmare for usability to newcomers. 

The question is why Web3 when Web2 meets the current needs for many people?

Simplifying UX in Web3 could bridge the gap. Streamlined onboarding and intuitive interfaces might reduce the steep learning curve for new users.
