Huh, in all these years, I thought "web 2.0" was just describing a new design style or monetization method or some shit. Had no idea it was referring to user created content. So thanks for the history lesson!

I definitely heard the term back then but yeah, I just assumed and never actually bothered reading up on it or anything.

Technically it was both a new design paradigm and a new monetization scheme, in that you'd get people to provide you content for free that you collect as revenue or even subscription fees on.
