    Yep, and that needs better regulation as well. Most of the “high-art” of the world is stupid shit literally used for money laundering, and NFTs just want a piece of that money-laundering pie.

    Doesn’t make either of them ethical things.

    As someone else pointed out here in this thread, you can support an artist with a direct donation or by buying the art with cash. I personally feel like buying it through an NFT is an outright admission that you only buy art to make money off of it.
