Does anyone know any real web3 use cases and/or broader adoption?

So I’ve been looking into web3 for awhile and I’m starting to think there’s something I’m missing.

So looking at some history, blockchain companies raised a lot of money during the first hype cycle in 2017 on ICO’s. I grew interested in the technology as well, and some of my friends still continue to work in this field. Apart from trading/finance, no other product has gained traction in the web3 age after 4 years and I am a little skeptical.

I understand that web3 is essentially a decentralized web in which your data is your property, with your wallet, you can authenticate anywhere and instead of companies like Google and Facebook, users can be compensated for ad revenue and that everything is secure.

But I was wondering what more real-world use cases does web3 provide that web2 does not? I understand that the things I said are all excellent - but how much functionality can you get out of web3 that you can’t get out of web2?

Hopefully I’ll be able to see successful applications soon. Thanks in advance!
