WHY IS NFT NOT JUST ABOUT THE “ART”? THE NFT CRINGE BY NFT CRITICS
Beyond just digital art, NFTs are being used to experiment with new forms of storytelling, particularly in the case of advertising and marketing.
Let’s be honest now. Would NFTs even hold any value if they are not marketed properly?
Of course not!
NFTs, it is neither unique nor is it an art. It is a swindle. Would you buy the code itself written on a slip of paper? Of course not. But that’s what you’re buying. It makes money for coders, just as cryptocurrency is a con for computer geeks to charge a fee for every economic exchange.
And the shallowness cannot be more ridiculous. They have taken the fact that works of art, being unusual, are valuable because many people want them at the same time. Adding code creates a completely mimicking work “unique” in the shallowest and most meaningless way. It’s non-fungible, but only because of a piece of code.
So, would anyone buy a slip of paper? Of course not! At least I wouldn’t do that! So to blindfold dummies like us who think the NFT arts are ugly, there’s a new selling tactic; create a brand, add a story to it, and start hyping the brand up!
A tech blogger William Terdoslavich describes NFTs in interruptive ads vs visual storytelling. He commented that “companies are evolving away from interruptive trade to storytelling that viewers do not perceive as ads.” He later adds that “the foundation for crypto-storytelling is the non-fungible token (NFT)” and that “crypto storytelling provides a marketplace for anyone to list their digital asset and sell it using cryptocurrency.”
As the hype around overnight millionaires fades, creative ways to use NFTs will continue to increase.
