Web2 is a worker bee
Ok, yesterday I was reading and watching videos centering on honey badgers. This animal is indeed worth spending some time to know of. Maybe I will put up a related article some time later. Till then, let's move on. The bees are one insect colony that are very marvelling; their line of duty, their code of conduct and whatsoever.
It is good for humans to study and replicate whatever part of their daily operations that is worthwhile. To me one of such is the strength in unity and common goal. When coming to the human ecosystems, this has been one of such flaws.
In short, modern slavery is very real and one of the ways to observe this is how the current Internet space has been set up to operate. Not until date, no one or very few knew that the internet was indeed a Hive of well stacked honey.
We are gradually moving into a future of lesser work. Flexibility and barrier breakdown is taking center stage. It is easily observable because of digitalization which has helped collapse or perhaps offset many old ways.

In this article, we are not going to be dealing with AI (Artificial intelligence) and how it has closed the workforce gap but rather a distinction between the two current internet ecosystems.
The underground debate between web2 and web3 is not a new thing. Many believe the latter will soon overtake the former; a good point, but presently just in imaginations. Are we saying web3 doesn't have such potential? Of course not, in short, web3 is built in such a way that there should even be a need for too much convincing before one switches.
But you see, we are living in a world where dominance and influence can set what is not ALL advantageous to become very dominating. First, the way web2 was designed was to behave like a pyramid where only few are found atop and the rest are nothing more than worker bees. It is very true that it is not the hardest of workers that makes the highest of gains. The proverbs of, ‘working like an elephant, eating like an ant seats well here’.
Have you read of or seen a worker bee before? Its duty is to start from work and end in work. It is more like living to work and dying a worker. What is attributed later, nothing more than a replacement and the Circle continues. I am not saying the worker bees should form a rebellion, it is their natural call. Put this in the system of humans then one fact is real here; ‘exploitation’.

Many have been exploited ignorantly and otherwise and I feel the need for this chain shift. It is all about if internet users are willing to embrace the presented change. Since the introduction of web3, it has proven to many that the internet was, is and will remain an environment of abundance of resources. We have seen it in the area of dividend pays as associated much fairly from web3.
How about the ease of monetizing your internet presence? The standards are none comparable considering how long it will take you to grow and monetize your web2 account. This one goes beyond patience to a strategic course of labouring hard for what can be easily given. This is why this gap needs to be closed and these later activities extinct.
Anyway, redirecting the attention of many has remained a very big challenge till date because those who are known as the internet gatekeepers are strategizing well enough to make sure the internet space continues in its former operation tactics. As we speak, there are several cloning tactics, many web2 firms are NOW adopting web3 ecosystems but at the core of it is keeping everything well centralized.
To conclude, let me add, as long as this continues, it becomes difficult to break down the former pyramids. It was one of such articles I read on this ecosystem, how decentralization is becoming a mixed breed. Those with the big bags or perhaps who have had the early internet gains are from the web2 history and these people have both the money, the experience and the structures to set up something similar at any time. Indeed, this is not an overnight wall to break down.
