Yeah, the NFT nonsense really sours what is an otherwise amusing project. It's not enough to make something cool, we have to try an monetize it through an obvious ponzi scheme.



I don't get why people get so sour about NFTs. If you don't like them, then don't participate - just like the thousands of other things people do for fun or profit that you don't participate in. This example is just a text link on a few images - it's not even in your face or very noticeable, yet several comments here have already voiced their aversion


I'm afraid I cannot "Not participate" in the ecological destruction they cause.


This kind of posturing is getting old. If you use electricity (and aren't running your own solar/wind farm), you're contributing to orders of magnitude more ecological destruction than a couple of crypto bros peddling NFTs.


Nothing happens in a vacuum. Society as a whole can be made to suffer from the after effects of "optional" activities.
