    Here is what is new here. Almost every artist in the NFT space could not have sold their art any other way. My work is all motion. Where am I ever going to sell that? Nowhere.

    There is a middleman in a lot of this and that is the platforms. I am on Known Origin and they take 15%of what I sell something for. And you have to pay gas fees for the network. These days that is from $80-120 dollars per NFT. But that is fine with me. If you do not like that you can go to other platform that take nothing....but I am not sure what other platforms do....i am still pretty new to all of this.

    The style of many NFTs or what collectors actually own when they buy and NFT or the energy consumption (this is complex - read up on it - making an NFT does not wreck the environment) or the hype about Beeple...all this shit is out there...and can be discussed..

    ...but for me....as a motion artist I can actually find collectors who appreciate what I do....and pay for it....this is pretty special...

    I have a hard time understanding it.....but I have come to understand that I do not need to completely understand the mentality of NFT collectors. Most of them are much smarter than me and have much more money in the bank than I do.

    so to simply hate on all this....is really a waste of energy. It is here. I don't think it is going to disappear overnight. It might change and evolve but face it - we live more and more of our lives online - so why wouldn't something like this happen...it is an evolution.

    • Only 15% from platform. An art gallery would likely take 50%. Great thing about NFTs is that artist gets a payout everytime it's resold. Usually 10%+microkorg
    • I've seen a lot of artists selling NFTs backing up the original digital file sale with an actual print.microkorg
    • Don't have a problem with any of the above. There are complete pisstakes in the NFT world though.microkorg
    • Not sure why you have the impression that NFT creates new markets for previously 'unsellable' artwork, by which I assume you mean digital media -Nairn
    • - I have an art-dealing friend who's spent the last decade-plus doing precisely that, and i'm pretty sure he didn't invent the segment.Nairn
    • Also, what in sweet shit is going on with your font-rendering?!Nairn
    • You need bifocals to decipher that shit.

    • Not everything needs to have a fucking price on it. Making 'art' purely to sell is just another job. I make my shit because I like it...face_melter
    • ...and if someone buys a print or whatever, then that's cool but I enjoy the process and I enjoy the results because i'm not doing it to make money.face_melter
    • This NFT shit makes me puke, so carry on selling the checksum of a looping gif of a dog taking a shit while India drowns.face_melter
    • All this techbro garbage will be the fucking death of us and twats will still be wanking about The Future while whales wash up on the beaches.face_melter
