Most artists do not sell their NFTs, and are instead stuck with the fees they paid to mint them. "These numbers do not show the democratization of wealth thanks to a technological revolution. They show an acutely minuscule number of ar

It's pretty common. I once bought a fan online and had ads for that same fan follow me around for weeks. I believe they're called "retargeting" ads.
