Web 1.0 is roughly the early internet up to the start of Facebook. Web 2.0, which we are in now, is the consolidation of the internet into a series of “walled gardens”, where most people engage with the internet though one or more platforms (FB, Twitter, etc), the rub being that these platforms are moderated (and privatized). Web 3.0 is not a thing (yet?), but it’s the idea that decentralization through blockchain technology will create a new “phase” of the internet
So the “cool” part of this is obviously deeply ironic, but I think the bit hinges entirely on the fact that Hunter is such an extreme fuckup to the point of caricature. While I genuinely don’t know anything about him other than what was said on Chapo, I do think it’s funny that the son of a sitting president once ascribed to Liberation Theology (which is good). Also, Don Jr. would absolutely shit his pants if he was in the same room as Hunter, which would be funny.
