It can costs upwards of 200 dollars to mint an NFT, and it's quite common to see artists who have minted several NFTs but not sold anything yet. I'd say the likelihood that poor people are being harmed is quite high.
So you are saying there are "poor people" who are harming themselves (going without food, shelter, medical treatment) because they spent money on minting NFTs?
If that's true, I will be more than happy to retract my statement. But I think I have little to worry about.
Sounds like I won't be able to produce any evidence that will satisfy your criteria. I personally consider "tricking people into thinking they'll make lots of money if they spend hundreds of dollars minting NFTs" to be a harmful activity.
Those are temporary growing pains as demand for Ethereum block space exceeds supply, and will be solved with the ImmutableX NFT-focused zkRollup, which will increase Ethereum's maximum throughput from 15 NFT transactions per second to 8,000:
Oh, it seems like it's only for their card-trading game? So they're essentially saving themselves money on gas fees? I'm more interested in the fees affecting individual artists.

Their alpha release only works with one card game, yes. Their platform is going to be open for every one eventually, though I don't know when that is expected to happen.
