The medium that is changing with NFT is one of credit and incentives, not aesthetics. NFT art isn't differently made art, it's differently positioned art. It's like jumping from movies to television. And it's similar in a nominal sense with respect to current platforms, but there's a definite sense of "we have not really done everything this medium can offer yet". The phase where it's a gimmick will pass.

> it's differently positioned art

Is it even that? Art is to baseball as NTF is to baseball cards. It's something loosely associated with the art.

My real gripe with NFT is that collectibles--art, baseball cards, whatever--can be put on display. There's something to be said for tangible things.

There is something to be said about tangible things, but that’s not an NFT problem, that’s a digital art problem.

I actually wrote a thing about it on my blog today https://www.jacquescorbytuech.com/writing/irl-problem-digita...
