This is very encouraging. I did notice that a lot of the big companies worked on something already there, and built on it. Google wasn't the first search engine, but they had fast and accurate/relevant results. Facebook wasn't the first social media website, Friendster and Myspace were popular then, but FB improved on them. YT, Netflix, Spotify were not the first and offered better products.
I think Web3 needs to take a similar approach. Simply offering something already existing in Web2 is not enough. We need to make use of the advantages of Web3, and offer something better than what is in Web2 to pry people off of them. What those are, and how to make them, I don't know yet.
Exactly. First is not always the winner.
Have to provide something people use. The first iterations are usually something people use to learn from. That is why first is rarely the overall winner.
