NAYRT

'Techbro beanie babies ruining everything!'

AYRT is describing NFTs as the beanie baby bubble of techbros. Not inaccurately. Beanie babies were stuffed toys in the 90s/early noughties that somehow became a manic craze, with limited editions and rare ones selling for lunatic prices. People were convinced that they were investigating in their future by buying them. The bubble eventually burst, and of course they're essentially worthless.

'If folks want to own digital art they should just go to DeviantArt and commission a fursona like normal people. Or other art, I dunno. They could even pay the artist extra to get the .psd file and even more for the artist to not even put the piece in their portfolio..?'

AYRT is suggesting that an actual valid way to buy digital art is to pay an artist to create something and to send you the original file, also to not put the piece online so only you and the artist would ever see it or own a digital copy of it.

'But no. Art Instagram is full of terrible MS Paint color scheme copypaste doodle accounts that are all called "disinterestedprimatesocialclubsociety" and feature whatsit ugly creature drawn as Iron Man or smoking a doobie.'

Reference to the Ape Yacht Club. Some stupid fecking NFT trend where very basic digital pictures of the same ape in various outfits were sold for tens of thousands of dollars. Owning one got you into the 'club' and a pass to events. I read an article where someone attended one and it sounded like a lame festival populated solely by techbros.

' NiFTys are creatively bankrupt,'

Debatable, but yeah it's hardly the big talents doing this.

'environmentally irresponsible'

The CO2 output from the energy required to run crypto and NFTs is astronomical and very irresponsible.

' and fucking hideous garbage scams people are trying to get suckers into before it all crashes.'

Suspect this doesn't need an explanation.

'...and those ugly jpgs get right-clicked'

Anyone can save the NFT digital images. To 'own' a NFT is literally worthless.
