      I mean.... There seems to me a genuine sex work aspect with real models being involved too. Despite what Kurtis said.... They probably are getting private chats with that one girl. Paid, private sexting is both common and legal. It's like the restaurant where people are taking a service that already exists and throwing nfts in for no reason.

We know they're not- they do rehearsals and stuff- but the idea behind a talk show is to avoid it looking like you just memorized a conversation.

    I've never seen an NFT that wasn't a procedurally generated piece of trash. Like you can go to any artist with open commissions and they will draw whatever you want for a FRACTION of the cost of an NFT. An NFT is basically a Picrew but every time you create a character they burn down a part of the Amazon rain forest

    • @howareyoumoreofaclownthanme
      @howareyoumoreofaclownthanme Před 2 lety +220

      I could literally hire an entire animation team to create a completely original character in an animated short and specify that that animation is mine for less than the price of one ridiculously priced art of an ugly monkey or a basic Picrew 'girlfriend' aimed at horny guys with too much to spend. Hell, I'm willing to bet that I'd be able to hire an entire animation studio to create a feature length film about my character for less than the price of an NFT collection.
      It's just mindboggling to me that people settle for less than mediocrity.
      EDIT: To the NFT bro comically missing the point below: yes, NFTs can have good art. It's still more environmentally friendly and supportive to artists to just commission them the normal way. Studio Ghibli films cost anywhere from 11 million to 34 million dollars to make. This is actually pricey in terms of animation already, but Ghibli created absolute classics that stand the test of time, and it didn't involve ruining the environment. Just imagine this: for the price of 24 NFTs valued at 1 million dollars each, you could have funded the making of Howl's Moving Castle. For the price of 19 similar NFTs, you could have funded Spirited Away.
      Just because you slap a piece of technology on some decent art does not mean it's worth a hefty price tag, especially if it's just a single fucking image that you don't even actually own.

    • @entothechesnautknight1762

      It's because the cost comes from "minting" the NFT, which is taking x Ethereum, and binding it to the NFT token though proof of work.

I even understand paying a zillion dollars for a solid blue painting with a line on it more than paying tens of thousands for a png. At least there's something to be said of owning art that is personal, customized, or tangible.

    • @mkat8505
      @mkat8505 Před 2 lety +8

      NFT can be as personalized and customizable as regular art. Sure people can screenshot it, just like someone can take a picture of a painting or make a print or even make an impressive replica; but that print would not be the same as the original Van Gogh. The second art became monetized, it became more than something done for pure pleasure. People have been using art to embezzle money for a long time now. If people want it, someone will find a way to profit. NFTs really are just digital trading cards, where you can prove that yours is in fact the original. They are even making specialized digital frames so you can hang the NFT in your house. Still super weird, but it's just something new we don't understand yet.

      no that is literally correct, they literally do view real women the same way. There's a SUPER popular "relationship" podcast on spotify where the main host has said some wild shit that all points to him literally thinking of women as property. He thinks its cheating for a woman to have an instagram if he's dating them, and thinks because "I buy you things, only I get to decide how things go."

They kept spam emailing out entire art club during finals. They are offering little to no money, calling it an “investment opportunity” and even tried to have a NFT competition where you submit art, and only the “winner” gets paid. NFTs do not support artists, they are just another way people exploit artists for money.

      I’ve commented this on a couple posts, but I think it would be useful in this thread as well! As an artist myself who is pursuing a degree in fine arts, NFTs can be incredibly useful for artists’ control of their works. Many times artists will sell a piece to someone for a cheaper price, but once the artist becomes popular, the person who bought the original work can resell it for up to 10 times the buying price. While it’s awesome that the artist’s work increases in value, they receive absolutely no percentage of that resell. In the fine art world, NFTs are becoming an incredibly effective way to control the percentage that the artist gets from every resell of that piece. Say they sold the original work for thousand dollars, and someone resells that for a million, they can decide on the royalties that they get off of that piece. While I get the ridiculousness of buying memes for a shit ton of money, there is definitely a benefit for artists if they are able to use the system correctly. My professor is actually doing research right now regarding the fine art market and the use of NFTs, and the stuff that she’s finding out is incredibly interesting and a value to people who want to make a career out of selling their art. Just thought it would be cool to share some of the benefits of NFTs! I know that the first time I ever heard of them I thought it was stupid, but after learning a little bit more about how they can actually benefit the art world, I think they’re pretty cool! You can definitely use NFTs on physical works as well, it just acts as sort of a title that a person owns, and that title gets transferred whenever they sell the piece!

    As an artist, NFT are just bad - people say that they want to support artists, that's why they spend so much on NFTs, yet they don't want to pay 20 buck for a full custom made artwork.
    If people really cared about artists, they would commission them or buy their gadgets; and if you can't afford to pay for stuff, you can always support them sharing their artworks and liking their post (especially with smaller artists like me this truly helps a lot).
    Overall this is just a big and more complicated pyramid scheme.

      Tired of objectifying fictional women for free? Upset that prostitution is illegal? So deeply socially inept that you’re willing to go into debt to feel like someone would willingly get naked for you and only you?

      like, I am personally okay with the concept of drawn hypersexualised women, but putting a price tag to it and then trying to trade them like trading cards? Do these people not understand that Hentai exists? Like why go the extra mile to "own" them? Sounds just like they are more willing to pay companies to mass produce 3D models than support NSFW artists (which btw are relatively cheap compared to NFTs)

      @@tidepodpadthai2633 okay im kinda sleepy and my english is not that good when im sleepy but here i go: buying a nft is basically buying the receipt of a purchase of something you've never buyed. no, ur not buying something and then receiving the receipt for it, ur just buying the receipt of a unexisting purchase (basically, its a scam and its illegal technically but nobody does shit about it so the nfts guys just keep on making these things). like, its just receiveing a receipt in form of a medal, stamp or text... except u dont own the nft art, u just own the receipt of that art (weird, ik, illegal, ik, and idk why anyone would do this). the ppl that defend these types of things say that nft is buying the codes or programation behind the art, yknow? like, buying a bunch of letters and numbers that represent or form the art, but imo its still the same as just buying a random receipt... bro, if u like the art then just buy it lol... i hope my english is not that bad lol

    ok, i always used to think that 'nft' meant not for trade. when i was younger i was obsessed with this mobile game, animal jam, where you would trade pets and stuff, and i just found out that it didn't mean that
