What is Web5 and does it already exist?

By Web3 Simplified | web3simplified | 15 Jun 2022


In this video, I introduce Web 1, 2, 2.5, and 3 and explain in simple terms what Web5 is and how it differs from Web3.

I also mention the platform DeSo which may already have done what Jack Dorsey is trying to achieve.
