NFTs are a valid idea with one big implementation flaw.
When you buy an NFT you basically have this ownership recorded in the blockchain, but the actual art, gif, bubble gum lives somewhere else with the blockchain just pointing at the actual thing.
Now, the storage of the thing is not decentralized (or it's poorly centralized) for all things. You don't actually own it except for that record on the blockchain that says you own it. If I choose to ignore it, you don't own it.
True digital works of art would need to capture the whole thing in the blockchain and to ensure that only the owner of the piece of art can unlock it and enjoy it. When NFTs get there I will maybe revisit my opinion.
