Artists have had Patreon and donation pages and art sales without any sort of nft. The nft just provides a speculation scam to attach to a url pointing to a piece of art. The speculation scam is the problem. Its selling to suckers who think they can resell for more money to other suckers.
I know of a former comic artist that couldn't crowdfund 15k for a comic book but made hundreds of thousands of dollars on nfts of monkeys with zero artistic merit and a lot of generative type work.
Its just a scam with people trying to get in on the ground floor thinking it's the new Bitcoin.
I think speculation scams should be illegal
