That’s fine, but in many cases people believe these are investment instruments rather than seeing them as a donation. If these purveyors made it clear these were Donations, then yeah, that’s okay.

Maybe Wikipedia can sell NFYs to “articles” and avoid the donation button?

I think it’s pretty clear there’s a market for them, which attracted a bunch of knobs. But yes I see them as a direct way to fund artist’s work, particularly digital artists, who before this had to content with likes on Instagram! An NFT is a way to say “hey I like this so much I’ll pay you to keep doing it”

What makes it a better solution than a donation button?

[kranke155]

People didn’t use the donation buttons.

Now that you have a market for it, people use it. Something something human nature.
