I don't know exactly, a variety of things I think. Starting with the development process, which (at least when I worked on it) was not exactly developer/beginner friendly. Needing to read complex documents, learn somewhat complex mathematics and using weird protocols, and weirder libraries. And of course the culture around blockchain and decentralization is really toxic and just interested in making money fast... Not everyone of course, but the bulk of them (I'm guessing it was similar with the web 1.0 and 2.0).
And from the user's point of view I also don't like them, they're way too complex to use,they require the user to know about the system (at least a bit) to be able to properly use them. (as you said, there are difficult barriers and challenges to get them to work well, but there's a lot of work to do yet!)
Also the majority of Dapps I've seen are crap, and don't work that well...
And let's not forget about all the hype around these things.... Which is excessive, and has made for really bad decisions. Heck, there's pizza joints with their own token and dapp... wtf?
I see the point and value of decentralized apps, I just don't like them... But again, this might be just me
Me too, because you aren't the first to express these thoughts. Honestly, there is a lot of nonsense in Web3 / Crypto / Defi, and a lot of your reasons for feeling this way are warranted.
I still think long term Web 3.0 can provide a ton of value for society. There's a lot of nonsense in Web 2.0 as well.

Hey Keff,
Thanks for the reply! You've been working with this tech for a while. What don't you like about it?

I'm now quite interested in knowing if this is just me or is something more people feel
