Then is it really Web 3.0. Or is it something being passed off as Web 3.0 and really is just another face on Web 2.0?
My view is that what the VCs and others are putting together is not truly Web 3.0 but another layer that they can control.

I don't know about you, but most stuff I use have a gateway to the blockchain, and this gateway can become a point of failure. For Hive I have my own node running and I cloned the code from hive.blog so that is an exception, but other than this everything else, browser extensions and websites I use, depend on third party centralized servers
Metamask, for example, is centralized and connects to their server and to Infura, allowing them centralized control (that is how they banned that NFT)
Most websites, from games like splinterlands to block explorers and "dapps" are centralized because in technical terms it is much faster indexing the blockchain into a centralized database, and just like in the example of the NFT that was banned, if they decide to censor something it is in fact censored
But yeah, we will be on Web2 for a long time. Web1 is still the technology that is broadly used to transmit e-mails for example. When we use e-mail clients and services it looks like web2.0 but behind it the protocols are all web1.0
Without a doubt, the internet is a point of failure since mega tech went and centralized everything. We have to add to the list just the access through some ISP. Add in google or apple through our phones and we see how it is all eligible to shut someone down.
So there is a lot of work to be done in many different areas.
In the meantime, we just need to keep moving things in that direction like with the parts of podcasting that is being disrupted right now.
