I’m pretty sure web 5 started as a troll to the shitcoiners pushing fake decentralized web 3 that was supposed to run on shitcoins.
When google and FB and twitter were censoring really hard during the 2016 election, then turned it up to 11 during 2020, a need was recognized to decentralize the web. Shitcoiners saw an opportunity to scam more VC and retail money, and called it web 3.
Web 1.0 being the glory days of mIRC, FTP, Usenet and Torrents, Web 2.0 is the centralized panopticon we have now.
