With Web3 names losing steam, what did Web2 domains get right?

    With Web3 names losing steam, I think the more interesting question is why Web2 domains kept their place so easily.
    Web3 names had hype, funding, and strong narratives behind them, but they still never became part of normal internet behavior.
    So what do you think mattered most here?

    That’s true, and I think that’s exactly why Web2 domains held up so well.
    Web2 stayed useful because people actually had to build, market, and transact on it.
    Web3 naming never reached that same default layer of utility.
