Why is absolute braindead comments like this still tolerated on here. I mean you'd hope that at some point the people who missed out on one of the biggest investment and technological opportunities of our time would just suck it up and either admit they were wrong or quietly move on with their lives but this place is just filled with angry cope comments like this that seek to vilify participants in a new space without even having a moderate understanding of what they're talking about. Maybe just maybe past all the evil scams and get rich quick schemes out there (which is present in any nascent industry), there are some things and people who are interested in this space and aspects of it that don't amount to eXpLoItaTioN.
And just to actually touch on this specific aspect of artists and being exploited, it's a laughable suggestion to mention this in this context when NFTs are one of the first times in recent history when artists can actually take back control from being exploited and unable to provide for themselves without succumbing to essentially giving up their soul - to unlocking their creative freedom and earning potential like we've never seen before.
- speedgoose 5y agoI don't know, insulting others with rhetorical questions shouldn't be tolerated. I didn't read the rest of your comment.
- cwkoss 5y agoYou seem proud of not reading it... That's the attitude I don't like seeing on HN. Smug and lacking intellectual curiosity
- speedgoose 5y agoNot listening to insulting people is not lack of intellectual curiosity.
