This is a very myopic view of the NFT space. There's more to it than monkey and punk profile pictures. There's a thriving community of digital artists supporting each other, think along the lines of patreon, etc. Of course it's a moot point to discuss this if you think all NFTs are a scam. I assure you there are different types of NFT collectors with various expectations. My favorite stuff is 100% on chain generative art. Take a look at Art Blocks for an example. There are also thriving NFT communities on cheap chains like Tezos, where the NFTs are very cheap and many folks approach it from a healthy perspective of having fun and supporting digital creators.
- elbigbad 4y agoCould you point me to a thriving community of real people who are artists? Like, a forum of people who are making real art and then selling it? Of course “real art” is a bit of a loaded term, but I mean traditional artists like painters or sculptors (not ${RANDOM_APE}) who are thriving or making their money through NFTs?
- anony23 4y agoTake a look at MakersPlace, lots of traditional artists on there that are selling NFTs. On Tezos there's a budding generative art scene as well.
- cuteboy19 4y agoI don't know about you but most Art communities on Reddit very explicitly ban NFTs and related scams. So it's not just us apparently.
- anony23 4y agoI agree that there are a lot of scammers and aggressive self promoters. They give the rest of us a bad name.
