The first iteration of the World Wide Web comprised web pages that were static. Academics and internet critics refer to this period, which included the majority of the 1990s, as Web1. Web2, in the early 2000s, enabled interactive websites such as Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia, where users could post, edit, and share content. Typically, these websites rely on logins, profiles, and embedded content. Significantly, they fostered the emergence of user-generated content and provided individual content providers with leverage and income sources.
