WC & FC Web3 Social Launch:  @dwr.eth and @v work steadily through several years of a bear market with little to no fanfare, quietly building what we now experience every day and many take for granted.

Typical Web3 Social Launch Today:  hack it together in a weekend, slap a token on it, attach it to the latest meta, create airdrop virality, see what happens, figure out the details later and hopefully make $$$$ in the meantime.

I hope people build long lasting things! But incentives rarely there.
