Yes it is all a scam. Alot of fingers in the pie, all wanting a slice. A pie that artists with honest and good intentions should be entirely and solely entitled to.

But what makes a particular artist believe he or she is so great that their "art" is worth hundreds, thousands, millions? Is it just because that "art" published using some new NFT blockchain technology? Is it just because somebody said or heard that NFTs have sold for gazillions so it must be true?

Sure there are actual artists that are extremely well known and talented, that have a huge following and people willing to throw cash at them for these minted NFTs but this is a very small minority (whether these are money laundering ops is another question).

Very enticing ideas are being tossed around to normies about NFTs such as "You gotta get in early", "This is gonna be the next big thing", "I lost out by not getting into bitcoin, that is not happening to me this time".

Sound reasoning, logic and comprehension abilities are skills that many (if not most) modern art school graduates and normies are severely lacking in. Indoctrination has taken a toll on society and post modernism is cancer. Bottom line is somebody is making tons of money on these minted NFT's and it generally isn't the artist. It's the middlemen that have suckered in gullible and naive en masse. The real winners are the ones collecting the fees.

Its all a pie in the sky.

Reality check: If you are an artist/designer etc, your work is only worth money if it can provide VALUE. This work must provide value to somebody that is willing to pay you such an individual, a company or whatever. Just because you illustrate an "ironic" pixilated unicorn wearing sunglasses and publish it as an NFT, doesn't make it VALUABLE. This is simply trash and provides no value at all.
