This could easily turn into a situation where Twitter / IG profiles contain NFT inventories, which is scary to think about.
Social media looks to be on the verge of transitioning into something catastrophically superficial. The pendulum will fully swing to “capturing the moment” then selling it on the way pornographers do, and it will be equally smutty.
Everyone might as well soon be doing what CNN and Fox News are doing, and profiting from it on an individual level powered by NFTs.
We are staring down at the proliferation of digusting levels of objectification of social interactions powered by the financialization of everything.
The people responsible for pushing this for profit should be shamed and disgraced, but will instead likely by rewarded with billions in newly created — and unseizable — wealth.
Truly, humanity is a cancer.

The pendulum will fully swing to “capturing the moment” then selling it on the way pornographers do, and it will be equally smutty. What do you mean "on the verge"? That shift happened a long time ago. I'd say the shift happened when suddenly everyone started being OK with taking pictures of themselves and posting it online. That's when everything was confirmed to just be superficial. Before this, we used to say only vain people took photos of themselves, but now either everyone is vain, or our measure of vain people moved.
