Here's an article describing the origin of the term Web 3.0 and as it is shown it seems quite positive in that the idea was to move away from the "Web 2.0", which is fully controlled by big internet corporations and where we don't have any control of our data and interaction with the internet. What I think makes bitcoiners wary of Web 3.0 is the fact that even it is also influenced by crypto venture capital companies and so is not as decentralised as they want us to think.
