The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations
Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.
Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.
There's a difference between using electricity and using more electricity, especially a lot more.
EDIT: NFTs are typically minted with Ethereum, which spends a lot of electricity already. If you want to dream up a magical version of a rent-seeking token that doesn't do that, that's cute, but it's not what's happening with rich techbros trying to get people to buy ledger spaces that are associated with ugly cartoons.
I get that you want to pull a "how do you do, fellow leftists" and peddle internet funny money and/or rent-seeking magic ledger spaces here. It's not cool. Stop it.

nft aren't actually pictures, they are a hyperlink to a picture that can be changed or removed at any time with no recourse
They are ledger spaces on a database that are often but not necessarily associated with pictures.

You're now playing the "NEW EXCITING GRIFT IS INEVITABLE YOU CAN'T STOP IT" card. Clowns like you were peddling real estate in Zucc's Metaverse(tm)(r) the same way.
At least start juggling or ride a unicycle while you're here, clown.

You're wasting time here when you could be ripping off more credulous people in your home instance. Pack up your crypto-carnival already. Whine all you want that it's pedantically "not crypto" when you don't want it to be, but that's just arguing about whether the shit is liquid or solid after a particularly bad stomach ache.

You're claiming that the answer to capitalism is more capitalism, this time from a shiny newer casino that is already majority owned and operated and pushed by ruling class capitalists and that will somehow topple capitalism and bring about an unspecified utopia that you've been vague about so far but have used techbro language to try to dazzle people with your bullshit.
