The Power of Web3 in Monetization Tools
Web3 emerges as a counterforce to the predatory data monetization practices of centralized platforms. The adage "If the service is free, then you are the product" underscores the fundamental tension between user sovereignty and corporate surveillance capitalism.
Decentralized architectures now enable direct value capture for content creators and users alike. Tokenized ecosystems shift power dynamics, replacing extractive intermediaries with transparent protocols. This paradigm mirrors early internet ideals while solving the monetization paradox through cryptographic verification.
