> Actual artists are off making stuff they can sell, and 99.99% of them don't know what an NFT is. In my experience, it's the opposite. If you're an artist with an internet connection, then you know about NFTs. Art communities across the internet have been fractured by the topic this year. Some have banned the posting of NFTs[1], some have built software to alert members when their work has been stolen and turned into NFTs[2]. Artists who speak out against NFTs are frequently dogpiled by crypto enthusiasts claiming that they don't care about their fellow artists[3]. Even famous artists know what NFTs are[4], since they've all been approached at some point by a crypto investor who wants them to make NFTs. As an artist, it's difficult to escape the topic, and it's causing quite a bit of backlash. 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/comments/rrb8s8/rpixelart_update_nft_posts_are_now_banned/ https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/comments/rrb8s8/rpixelart_... 2: https://www.deviantart.com/team/journal/DeviantArt-Protect-80-000-NFT-Alerts-Sent-902819882 https://www.deviantart.com/team/journal/DeviantArt-Protect-8... 3: https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag/status/1369878546768871424?lang=en https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag/status/136987854676887142... 4: https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/20/22846654/brian-eno-nft-crypto-skeptical-morozov-suckers https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/20/22846654/brian-eno-nft-c...
