>>21390202>>21390507I think it's kinda funny when streamers criticize NFTs with the argument "you don't really own the picture you buy, it's just a scam, here look I can just right click and save it". But then their income partly depends on their fans buying Twitch subs, and buying a Twitch sub buys you access rights to some pictures (Twitch emotes) in some social context (Twitch chat) as a token of support. Pictures you could just as well right-click/save-as and use somewhere else. Like me, with the pic in this post. It's almost the exact same concept.
Another example: some streams show you the names of the top 3 gift donators on top of the chat window and resets those every week or month. This is clearly designed to motivate oilers that wanna see their names displayed on top of chat to outbid each other for these 3 places. Now if a streamer would instead create 3 NFTs and auction them off in the market to the three highest bidders, it would be the exact same dynamic (except in the first case 50% of the money get siphoned off from Twitch). And yet many consider the first "just supporting your streamer" and the other "Scam! Cancel nao!".
tl;dr NFTs are not all that different from existing monetization schemes. If the tech around them wouldn't suck as much as it does right now, they'd have a lot of potential.
