Web3 as Digital Platform Cooperative

In addition, the platform also becomes a centralized controlling authority. If our videos are not liked by YouTube or our tweets are against Twitter's terms, they can remove them.

In the early 1990s, the internet was just a static website used to get information online. In this era called Web 1.0, the interaction was unidirectional because most users could only consume content. Along with the development of technology, in 2004, Web 2.0 appeared and became the era of the internet today.

Websites become more dynamic, responsive and interactive. We can edit Wikipedia, interact with friends via Facebook, tweet and retweet short news, upload photos on Instagram, as well as videos on Youtube and do Tik-tok fun. The Web 2.0 platform is two-way; ordinary people can interact with each other and become content creators.
