Good lord, these copy/pasted web3 lies and propaganda get so tiresome.

Web 1.0 is a read-only web where people can read information written on websites.

There was never a read-only web. The web has been interactive since it's inception. Chat rooms and forums are two examples of interactive types of websites that existed long before uninformed marketers made up the term "web 2.0".

Web 2.0 is a read-write web where people can read and write content on websites and applications.

Web 2.0 wasn't an era of the web, it was a marketing term made up by uninformed people that didn't understand the growing use of AJAX. The only thing that was different was that parts of a web page could be updated without updating the entire page. No new abilities or functionality was created that didn't exist before.

However, it doesn’t require that those spaces be exclusively accessed via VR or AR. A virtual world, like aspects of Fortnite that can be accessed through PCs, game consoles, and even phones, could be metaversal.

No. Stop it. The metaverse is fully immersive virtual reality, ie cyberspace, as depicted in Snow Crash. Nothing more, nothing less. Augmented reality isn't the metaverse. Fortnite or whatever stupid game isn't the metaverse, and "metaversal" isn't even a real word.

So, please, stop spreading these tired, overused, copy/pasted lies about the history of the internet.
