No, you don't, and yes, you can. And in fact, you yourself say that this is still the case just a few paragraphs earlier:

- miracle2k 5y agoYou are right, you can, and people have, for example: seditionart.com I certainly encourage you to buy NFTs on on those centralized websites. Nevertheless, paying for ledger entries representing art didn't really gain popularity before blockchains, so there is that.
- brazzy 5y agoIt hasn't "gained popularity", it's a bullshit hype fuelled entirely by scams. NFTs have zero value and are yet another non-example for the usefulness of blockchains.
