I believe a lot of us would be more excited if they weren't also a frustrating grifter paradise.

People rant and rave about how this is a huge when for digital artists while ignoring the darker side. I see more and more small artists venting their frustrations in fighting with the NFT markets to get their stolen art taken down. Also in dealing with crypto bros cyberbullying them for refusing to participate in this whole crypto shit show.

The stolen art thing is a problem screaming for a technical solution.

Outside of that, 99% of the artist I know are super happy NFTs exist and they can make money out of them.

How many artists do you know?
Quite a few since I’m a digital artist myself.
That isn’t an answer to my question, but it does explain your financial interest in defending NFTs throughout this thread.
You mean because they are good for me and they are good for 99% of the digital artists on this planet?
They are good for you, but you don’t know 99% of the digital artists on this planet or what is good for them.

Indeed you haven’t even told us how many digital artists you know. Only that you are one.
