OpenSea has grown at a dizzying pace, and is now valued at $13bn. But amid its spectacular rise, the company is doing far too little to prevent thefraudulent NFTs, some artists charge, and is placing much of the burden of policing art fraud on the artists themselves.
furries warned yall
womp womp Welcome to February 2021 The Guardian.
lichelets Furries warned you. if it were any benefit to artists/buyers at all, in any way, our community would’ve been all over that from the start. Selling each other personalized, unique art is WHAT WE DO. We saw NFT’s were a pyramid/ponzi scheme from the word “go.” Listen next time.
The entire NFT infrastructure is built on a scam anyway. Nobody is actually buying art, just the receipt. But NFTartists are taking other artists' copywritten work and claiming that they can sell it as an NFT (which, again, doesn't actually sell the art) and it's all a fat mess.
Perhaps this is why 82% of Gen Z says NFTs are a scam. 🤷🏽♂️
TheotimeGM Y'all a little slow on the uptake seeing as this entire drama has been playing out for a few months now. Better late than never...
moumekie I love how the media is finally catching up to this widespread issue that has lasted for like over a year now
FUD
Is anyone surprised?
If you're buying digital art for $69 mil, you're shady af. Do something positive with your financial power.
This NFT crap highlights one of society's biggest problems: Confusing 'money' with 'value'. If we de-linked money from value, maybe there'd be less greed in the world & we can move past our selfish 'me-me' culture.
