NOTES

In this fast paced world of the Internet, how can you make sure you are leaving your mark? Since 1990, the World Wide Web has developed through three phases. The read phase gave individuals and companies a platform for publishing on a broader scale than ever before, but it wasn't interactive. The read-write phase allows readers and creators to interact with each other on the same Web page, but it has a few drawbacks: Creators are not compensated for the content they produce for platforms, their data is not secure, and they have no ownership of user-generated content. Web3 is emerging to expand the opportunities for creators by delivering tools that help them regain their content freedom, monetize their content better, safeguard their personal data, and fight back against censorship. In this book, you will learn: Why the best safeguard against censorship is decentralizationHow the internet changed from being a decentralized asset no one owns or controls to being a centralized collage of walled gardensWhy user-generated content is so valuable to platforms like Facebook and Twitter but not so great for creatorsHow blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are giving creators their freedom backWhat creators can do today to secure their content freedom, expand their monetization options, and secure their data This book is for anyone who wants to know the inside and out of Web3. By knowing these, you will be able to navigate it and make sure you retain your content freedom while fighting against the censorship creators are experiencing on legacy social media platforms. Increase your knowledge and power: Buy this book!
