I live in Silicon Valley, and there's a billboard along highway 101 near San Francisco that's an ad for "BlockChat", a "Web3 messenger" that uses the blockchain instead of a server. I went to Google Play to look at the app and it's only had 10k downloads total. I really don't understand how blockchain would help with messaging, and there's a bunch of limitations (eg you can never delete messages). People just trying to shoehorn AI and blockchain into everything.

Yep. Spot on. If they can raise VC money and walk away with someone else's cash in their pocket, they'll say whatever buzz word they need to.
