I think most people missed the point of the question on reddit. It isn't why NFTs are a bad idea. Let's be honest, a lot of collecting is a bad idea. Financially, ecologically. OP's point is that everyone, collectively, started having a deep hatred of them overnight. And I'd attribute it to a few articles and to Twitter groupthink now saying NFTs are the approved thing to hate on. Then all the cool kids must hate on NFTs, regardless if they use less energy than Magic the Gathering cards or trade for less money than any other collectible junk.
- zwirbl 5y agoI don't think that people "started having a deep hatred of them overnight", but it has a lot to do with not getting the point of NFT. I certainly don't get why/how it is a good idea, same with lots of different blockchain projects (earth2 anyone?)
- dutchCourage 5y ago> OP's point is that everyone, collectively, started having a deep hatred of them overnight. I think the hate carried over from crypto currencies and other blockchain projects. The top reply mentions: > NFTs are driven by hype, making NFT investers/scammers super outspoken and obnoxious. This is why the tone of the conversation around NFTs is so resentful of them, people are sick of being forced to interact with NFT hypebeasts. I think this is what makes blockchain projects so polarized. I've yet to see something interesting come out from blockchain technologies. If those projects exist, they're drowned in the middle of people and companies who have no clue what they're talking about and are trying to bank on the hype.
