Full quote, from the above link:

"Wussup normal peeps and 14 year old environmental hypocrite trolls that use gasoline in the cars they drive and the planes they fly and throw away double AA batteries every other month! "

H then goes on to hawk the link to some stupid CGI "art" bullshit that would be inoffensive and whatever, if not for the fact that creating it is ghoulishly greedy and selfish, given it's helping propagate/perpetuate a needless act that's destroying the environment further.

    Does ethereum provide entertainment/education similar to YouTube? One is significantly more worthless

    Also rich people selling air to someone, can literally draw a dick and sign it.

    Like for the sake of thought experiment, what would change if eth went poof or youtube went poof?

      There literally exists a decentralized Youtube built on Ethereum. Meaning not owned and operated by the ghouls over at Google who know & exploit your personal data for profit, work with intelligence agencies and military contractors, and frivolously demonetize leftist creators.

      Like for the sake of thought experiment, what would change if eth went poof or youtube went poof?

      Please read the last part of my original post because that's my entire point. It's all dumb. Not only would nothing of much value change if YT/ETH went poof - but also the exponentially growing carbon emissions released into our atmosphere primarily by 100 companies wouldn't change at all

      My criticism wasn't about the current usage of NFT''s by artists - that's debatably very dumb. My criticism is about the lefts (lack of) understanding of blockchain and its pearl clutching about carbon emissions when it's the same logical argument as using less straws instead parroted by the same people who (correctly) criticize those arguments.

      Getting gassed up about carbon emissions from NFT's is boomer shit. In the context of leftist criticism, it is 99% of the time rooted in general technological ignorance of blockchain and crypto in general.

        I’m not annoyed about nft emission per se, but cool let’s go there: current ethereum hash rate is what, 500 th? That means 10 millions of gpus with 50 mh rate, which are destined to be worthless. Does your mystical 100 companies include nvidia, fedex, Amazon and some maritime shipping?
