Evil? No I don’t think so. I believe the correct word is idiotic.

This is not the first time art is destroyed upon purchase. Long before NFTs, a painting (banksy?) was shredded right after auction.

Not sure if anyone called that evil or idiotic

[zepto]

It was only partially shredded.

Nothing was actually destroyed, and the partially shredded artwork was a new artwork in its own right.
