I think of them as digital digital picture frames.
A market for digital, digital picture frames currently exists and it has high margins. That is the extent of my thought on the what people are buying.
They aren't advertised that way though and the transaction receipt of purchasing the digital, digital picture frame can be a valuable asset.
Regarding where the images being viewed are stored, many are not following best practices and should be scrutinized for that, but that is separate from the concept of digital digital picture frames, as many do leverage the sales pitch of the technology pretty well and store the entire image onchain or pin them on another censorship resistant storage system.
But I think people overthink it. Who cares that people are buying digital digital picture frames? Just sell digital digital picture frames!
- unmole 5y ago> I think of them as digital digital picture frames. I don't understand this analogy. A digital picture frame lets me look at pictures. What on earth is a digital digital picture frame?
- eru 5y agoPerhaps it's a digital frame for a digital picture? (As opposed to a physical frame for a digital picture?)
- vmception 5y agoA digital picture frame is a physical device that lets you look at preconfigured digital pictures. There is typically a mechanism for changing them, you purchased the device though. A digital digital picture frame is a set of classes that lets you look at preconfigured digital pictures. There is typically a mechanism for changing the image, you purchased the set of classes, typically following one of the NFT standards. Those are the ways at which they are similar.
- unmole 5y agoBut an NFT doesn't let me look at a picture. It doesn't have a display for one. The whole point of a digital picture frame is that it has a display. Is a browser a digital digital picture frame? I have as much need for a specialised digital digital picture frame as I have for a digital paperweight.
- vmception 5y agowell, this was fun, past tense. analogies compare the ways dissimilar things are similar, not the ways they aren't. this is a thread about selling them and not asking why people are willing to pay for them. so what you or I need isn't relevant, if you don't want to buy one then don't buy one. if you want to make money, sell one. unless there was some point you were trying to make, in which case there are plenty of sister threads to make that point in.
