It is really difficult for the average person to fully conceive of how useless NFTs are. We're primed for reason. If people are making so much noise about this technology-- if it IS technology, at all-- then surely it does SOMETHING... right? (The answer is, no. It does absolutely nothing.)

Let's pretend for a moment that the magical candy-floss version of NFTs, where you can just buy a gun in Call of Duty and use it in Fortnite, actually works. Just by magic, let's pretend it's not hilariously impossible. These magic tokens just transfer assets between games. These magic tokens that make the same gun work in Fortnite, Warzone, Valorant, and Halo are, crucially, running on a decentralized blockchain.

Decentralized also means unregulated.

1) Copyright law is a nightmare, largely thanks to Disney.
2) Publishers suck for various reasons but are necessary for the survival of many authors & much of the publishing industry.
3) Authors always get the shit end of the stick when things go wrong & often when they go right. 4) Libraries have many problems (often due to 1 & 2) but when people use libraries, authors are ultimately compensated and do benefit, often significantly. Libraries are good.
5) The Internet Archive is good and its archival services are important and necessary.
