What people usually mean
In link-building discussions, “Web 2.0 backlinks” often refers to links placed in user-created content on hosted publishing platforms. The account owner may control the page and its outbound links.
Why they became popular
They are accessible, repeatable and can often be created without persuading an independent publisher. Those same characteristics are why automated tools can produce them at scale.
Quality varies dramatically
A useful, maintained page with a real audience is very different from a thin property created only to host a link. Evaluate the specific page, content and purpose instead of assigning value to the platform category.
Automation changes the risk
If software is creating large numbers of pages and links primarily to manipulate rankings, both link-spam and scaled-content concerns can become relevant. A platform being legitimate does not guarantee every user-created page is valuable.
