When did this happen? Only rich idiots bought into that shit to exploit other idiots. The majority of people I've seen is making fun of links you buy, I mean NFT...
Unfortunately it wasn’t just rich idiots, but any idiots with disposable income. Only the rich million-dollar NFT garbage made the news, but plenty of “normal” folk lost money with the junk too.
Kinda don't see what the big deal is. Probably best use for "unique" goods. Dunno if they use blockchain because as I've understood it that's just a resource hog.
But selling users unique avatars? Don't see the appeal and they are fugly and seem dumb but like that's so inoffensive nothing burger.
The avatars also have a visual effect to them next to comments.
I think people don't like this at all not just because NFTs bad, but also because it changes reddit more and more from the website it used to be for commenting on articles & images into crypto social media.
