We Were the Product. Now We’re the Stakeholders.
For years, we built the internet for free.
We posted content.
We engaged daily.
We invited friends.
We trained algorithms with our behavior.
And the value created from all that attention?
It flowed upward, to platforms and shareholders.
That was the Web2 model.
Web3 introduces a different incentive structure.
Instead of users being the product, users can become participants in the upside. Your content becomes contribution. Your engagement becomes economic signal. Your presence becomes part of the network’s growth.
That shift changes everything.
When incentives are aligned, behavior evolves. People build more intentionally. Communities become assets, not just audiences. Platforms become ecosystems rather than extraction machines.
This isn’t just about earning tokens for posting. It’s about ownership, portability of identity, and participating in systems where value flows more transparently.
The internet is evolving, from information, to interaction, to ownership.
The real question is simple:
Will you just use the next version of the internet…
or will you help shape and benefit from it?
