Yeah, I heard about most of the supposed uses in the 10 paragraphs you wrote. Anyway, since none of those came to pass, and instead a bunch or people went bankrupt buying pictures of monkeys, I'd say the usefulness of NFTs has been determined.
You know, when reddit first started, no one minded long replies, in fact they were considered a mark of excellence and understanding. Long, accurate replies were almost always the top comment in non-meme subs.
Then smart phones became popular and every idiot gained access to the web
Suddenly, around 2012, you started seeing comments disparaging long replies as being 'nerdy' or 'tryhard'. On FUCKING reddit, the HOME of the nerds!
It was a real emotional whiplash to me for a place that once welcomed detailed discussion to start mocking users for creating quality reply content
That's when I realized the internet was fucked because of people like you.
