It’s always this way, humans come up with an awesome new technology and then the worst people in the world move in immediately and use the tech for the most horrific purposes imaginable. But I think maybe I’m arguing semantics here and you probably don’t have a problem with the technology itself and more so have a problem with how it’s being used.

They go to an unmarked supply closet in the back of the museum and post a handmade label saying "mona lisa currently owned by Gaming With Noah" so if anyone wants to know who owns it they have to find this specific closet in this hallway and look behind the right brooms. You ask "can I take the mona lisa home now?" and they say "god no, are you stupid? You only bought the receipt saying you own it, you didn't buy the actual mona lisa, you can't actually take the real mona lisa" and then he gives you a print of the mona lisa from the gift shop. Also, the person you paid has never at any point in time owned the mona lisa. Does this make no sense? Does it seem like something no rational person would ever be interested in?

Basically it's people wanting to claim ownership of something, so that if you go look in the huge ethereum network (which is basically where they register all those who bought or sold something with their own type of money called Ether, which is what they like to call cryptocurrency cause it's literally a currency that only exists online), you'll find "this person owns this thing", as in its official and they have it, its theirs. But that's it, people can still literally take screenshots of it if they want to use it, cause you can't stop them, it's the internet. And most of the time it's just something rich people like to do to show off how they possess "valuable and costly" things. When the general public really doesn't care.

Sickening when it's held up as some standard for art, or pretending that people are spending that much on it because they think art is just that good, and the barrier to entry low enough to liberate struggling artist to pursue their dream of...getting rich quick?

[@dragonofepics7324]

Its disappointing. Modern Art and Pop Art has never been my thing but I had hoped that at least the artist loved their art or the process of making it.

When I was in University for the fine arts one of my fav professors told the class first day. "if you want to make it in the art world there is only one thing you need to do, and the quality or statements of your work has nothing to do with it. The only thing you have to do is convince the rich bastards of the world that your artwork will make them more prestigious. The better and more unique your brown nosing to the rich, the more money you'll make." To me, that's why NFTs are becoming so overpriced, and the controversy seems to just add to it and the block chain is the gimmick. It's like the art actions but for those who only live on the internet.

[@artlover9261]

The only things that these rich fat bastards wants are a expensive rare item with their name on it. This frustrates me so bad, cuz this reminds of a irl story i had. I'm a musician and sometimes when i need a little cash i would grab my guitar, head out to the center of the city and start playin like crazy and at the end of the day, i would sit in a bench and start drinking coffee or something and start watching an old man painting something on the street... It was fantastic, the old man used all kinds of techniques, from spray cans, to pencils and even rags with paint on it... It was so beautiful to see, the experience of the old man, his passion and absolute genius of how he distorted reality in a piece of paper. I bought that painting and it's one of my most valuable things i have, i can still touch it and feel in the paint the passion of that fellow old man. Honestly, this is what i most fear i hate about nfts... The chance of these nfts getting available for everyone and start forgetting about true art.

The problem is in order to sell your NFT for twice as much you have to convince someone else that they can sell it for even more. Eventually, there's no more suckers left to buy.

Feels like an extension of that icky commercial feel in art. Where the quality is chipped away in favor of marketability. Artists that put passion into it are essentially being told to move over and let these shallow works be considered the "true" purpose and form of art. It reeks of "get rich quick" and seems to be a bait to get people to either scramble to buy, or scramble to slap something together and hope someone else is dumb enough to buy it, without caring about the art it's self. I think the "value" of art isn't everything- especially when it's clearly being manipulated. Someone spending a few minutes tracing over a template and recoloring it isn't inherently superior than work that strives to connect with the audience just because someone has money to throw at it.

Nfts are hailed as a way for "artists to make money" when commissions are so much better, even shops. I spoke to a cryptotard and he basically told me "why would I support an artist I enjoy when I could buy an nft and make profit off that artists work?" Genuinely discord almost shat itself when people were cancelling nitro over them trying to get into nfts. Nfts have no purpose other than profiting off artists work. Some of them are so highly inflated it's disgusting. Its shown that nft bros throw cash back and forth to themselves to make their nft look more expensive.

[@dankmemes8254]

If an NFT is sold at 1 dollar it is already inflated

[@dakat5131]

It seemed so blatantly false when they started with that- either they didn't know, or thought artists wouldn't know. Perhaps backtracking a bit to say that it works better in some vague unspecified way. Really for most independent artists it's just an unnecessary solution to a problem they don't actually have. And some artists probably don't care anyway. The whole thing assumes every artist is just chasing the money- But I'd say even people who do it for a job had to have been inspired to do so by some amount of passion, at least initially, and are going to have too much self-respect. It's an irritating feeling watching what looks like bad liars trying to force something on people who they don't even care to understand. They act as if it's obvious why someone would want it, and come across as pushy salesmen that also praise themselves as some kind of benevolent rescuer of poor artists ("Where would they be without our help?") and then turn around and make it clear to them it's about the money. They can't even be bothered to hide that they have 2 faces. (And may even conflate them at times)

Staggered in here at 3:30 am while doing some work... and that ending bit about NFT cartoons not going anywhere and growing exponentially... made me bust up laughing so hard I scared the cat this whole subseries of videos about these NFT cartoons just gets funnier with each year that passes since they were released... what with NFTs basically being dead and everyone who was gungho about them very very quiet about the whole thing

[@SsnakeBite]

I love how they boast about it being "the first NFT cartoon" like it's something to be impressed by. First of all, there's no such thing as an "NFT cartoon" because by definition, an NFT isn't a tangible thing. It makes a reference to a work but it isn't the work and gives you no right and no property over the work. People who sell NFTs like to use terms like "NFT art", "NFT game" or "NFT cartoon" to trick people who don't know any better into thinking they're buying a work, but they aren't, and that goes to show that NFTs are undeniably a scam considering the people producing and selling them are actively lying about what they're selling. It cannot be stressed enough: NFTs. ARE. NOTHING. Second, there's no technological process going into making an "NFT cartoon" because again, the cartoon _isn't_ an NFT. I repeat in case it's still not clear: the NFT is not the work and has no bearing on the work whatsoever. You can make NFTs of literally anything, because NFTs are nothing. You can just decide that something is an NFT of a work. Hell, you don't even need to _own_ the work to make an NFT of it, which is how countless artists are already being fucked. So it's literally just another cartoon, it's just that someone somewhere made an NFT that they decided authenticates it (but still doesn't make you own it). NFTs are the very illustration of everything wrong with modern economics: people getting rich off other people's work while they themselves produce nothing; selling hot air that has no purpose other than being resold, and enthusiastically destroying the environment in doing so because who cares if you die as long as you get to have the richest corpse? Meanwhile, the people who made the work you're getting rich off of do not see a single cent of the profits.

[@Just_A_Goose1]

You just explained capitalism in your final paragraph. This isn’t a modern economics thing, it’s been going on for centuries. Not the nft’s, the part about people making lots of money without doing any work and the people who actually did the work don’t get a single cent of it.
