Again, if the ecosystem provided an opportunity for real decentralization, FAANG companies wouldn't be investing in it.
I can brainstorm about federated technologies and Open clients that actually solve problems: Peertube, Mastodon, Nitter. I can brainstorm about legislation that actually opens up APIs and makes it easier to move data around. There is a ton of stuff to be excited about on the web, you don't need to waste your time trying to turn NFTs into something positive. There are already interesting things to invest time and money into.
> We actually have real money flowing into a space that no one ever cared about
We have real money flowing into a specific space that is fundamentally not designed to democratize the web, and that in some cases may actually be harmful to attempts to build real subversive technologies.
Be more of a grouch about this, and focus your attention on efforts and paradigm shifts that have more potential. If the people running around having "fun" with NFTs took that energy and devoted it instead into exploring/developing more federated communities and technologies that actively repel centralization, we could radically transform the web.
