One of the things to like about the Bored Ape Yacht Club characters is that they are deliberately satirizing the buyers.
An ape because it is non-thinking, with stupid money to spare, buying an NFT out of boredom rather than interest.
Actually making fun of the buyers, your customers, isn’t a new thing in art but this is a particularly apt example.
