The latter only works if Twitter stops you uploading any old image. Hence trying to find some way to differentiate regular profile pictures from NFT profiles. But the latter still only works if the general population of Twitter thinks it’s cool. Otherwise you’re marking yourself out as a rube. Whereas skins and other DLC are broadly accepted in games if only from the perspective that most people don’t care what skin you use. That and most games with DLC charge a fixed rate and offer it to everyone rather than making individual items scare.

Or if they show a checkmark on verified images. Or if they prevent uploading unverified profile images at all (presumably this is how Valve games work, so that everyone can't just download a copy of the expensive item and use it online). > But the latter still only works if the general population of Twitter thinks it’s cool. Yes, of course, but as you explain, that's no different than with video games, especially if the items are purely cosmetic.
- meheleventyone 5y agoI don’t think you can just snip all the context out of what I said and pretend I agree. I explain in the post you quote what the meaningful differences are.
