    My favorite part about the NFT delusion is “but it’s supporting artists!” When it’s a seemingly impenetrable marketplace to many artists and in most cases seems to cost them money overall in minting fees ‘n’ shit.

    If you really want to support an artist, just buy a fucking print. Buy the original. Take home that sculpture. Don’t make us jump through fucking hoops and engage in what is essentially gambling to get by.

    That’s not supporting artists, that’s forcing artists to support your weird fucking crypto/blockchain obsession

    • same for animation and all digital art too... lousy argumentation that its not working without a token.. u own nuffin with the token except some stoopid tokenneverscared

    • Artists dont need support. Art is like peeing -- its something you do when you no longer can hold back, when you absolutely have to tell the world something.drgs
    • A regular artist has to do just as much marketing and schmoozing. they have to get their art into shops/galleries or in front of people to make those sales.microkorg
    • If lack of money/support is stopping you, fuck off, you should not be doing art. There is way to much garbage produced these days, esp musicdrgs
    • that requires effort too and only likely local sales.microkorg
    • Theres no big fees associated with Tezos. Said many times previously, that's the chain that artists are choosing. Community is fantastic.microkorg
    • it just seems like the NFT world isn’t filled with actual artists so much as it is filled with crypto bros cranking out shit with phone apps pretending it’s artscarabin
    • Meanwhile, actual artists are sitting on stacks of prints and studios full of actual workscarabin
    • Basically i’m just lazy and mad about itscarabin
    • "Community is fantastic" sounds gay as fuckbabydick
    • Scarabin, the stupid high sales and crypto bros are in ethereum. Tezos community is not like that at all.microkorg
    • Amen scara, amen.garbage
    • So you went against my advice in the 2nd paragraph and became an ETH bro? wow. I thought I laid the sarcasm down hard enough but obv not.cherub

    • I thought "$100" in gas fees, and "outclassed" and "fail" would have been enough to convince u what will happen if u try ETH but I guess not.cherub
    • On tezos the "fees and shit" cost less than 25cents. If you can't afford 25cents, there are even faucets you can tap.cherub
    • oh i forgot about the faucets! yes when you get a tezos wallet you can apply to a faucet and get (a few?) dollars to get you minting your first piece for free.microkorg
    • if that's not great 'community' then I dont know what is?!microkorg
    • Maybe a crack dealer giving you your first couple of hits for free? ;) lolol.microkorg
    • yes, good idea ,, great community of crack addicts ... very funny,how old are u 4 ? tezos is irrelevant ..no one can make a living there..neverscared
    • he wanted NFTs to magically float into his wallet, along with the knowledge of how to get started, how to mint, how to curate, etc... when that didn't happencherub
    • And tezos is so clean you can use it as carbon offset.palimpsest
    • he decided NFTs had failed him. Lol. There's a learning curve dude. You can't fire up some new software having never used it before and create a masterpiece.cherub
    • How many of you naysayers have actually given it a try?
      Actions speak louder than words.

    • Inorite? Palimpsest just came out of nowhere and taking the NFT art world by storm. sToP HaTiNG scarabin! Take notes.. you might learn something from Palimpsestcherub
    • Put your money where your foot is.palimpsest
    • go live your dream... lolneverscared
    • Eat ass.
      Fuck other people's wifes.
      Mint NFTs.

    • add - we love crack community - and you are there.neverscared
    • I can't wait to look back at NFT's in 10 years (for art). It makes less sense than the dotcom debacle did.formed
    • the blind delirium after the bubble burst is closer to 10 months than 10 years... financial learning curve is constantly flatlined.neverscared
