So I have a theory about why heinously ugly NFTs were popularized...
From the start, I noticed that many of the early NFT collections which sold for ridiculous amount of money had very ugly and off-putting artwork.
I've been thinking about it for a very long time, and this is what I've concluded...
Those NFT collections were laundering schemes.
The art was purposely designed to be ugly and undesirable so as to deter any would-be buyers who weren't part of the laundering scheme from purchasing them and fucking up the operation.
When stupid shit like digital drawings of rocks and ugly apes sold for obscene amounts of money, the general crypto public found out about it from articles that were written (likely by the top propaganda rags) and they started to get the idea that UGLY SELLS.
I believe this is what started the trend of totally ugly NFT artwork that we see everywhere today.
And I resent that shit.
The fact is, without those initial money laundering operations, NFTs wouldn't have gained any attention initially... yet NFTs have been totally fucking smeared up to this point by the very thing that made them popular to begin with.
There must be some filthy rich assholes sitting back and laughing about how ugly art dominates the NFT market even still.
It really pisses me off.
You can't tell me it wasn't done on purpose.
It leaves truly beautiful artwork offered as NFTs to basically just rot away with no interest shown in them because there was never a genuine interest in NFTs anyway.
They never truly exploded in the first place... it was just money laundering.
They WILL be popular and eventually the beautiful art will have its day in the sun, but things sure didn't start out that way.
