# A good read 👓 > The success of Web3 will ultimately be based on what the technology can do, and how it can help change the unfair and unequal power dynamics that are built into much of Web2. With Web2, power is concentrated in the hands of a few people, a problem that is dramatically increasing under the influence of centralized AI. End users, that is you, me, and everyone we know, end up being in the service of that technology, giving away our data, privacy, money, and voice for the ability to use “free” platforms. To put this another way, Web2 platforms have turned us into the product. In this model, those in power have every incentive to try to keep their power, giving diverse voices, voices of women, POC, those from developing nations, and those with dissenting perspectives little to no representation. Web3 turns that on its head.
