I entertained that route about 20 years ago for almost 2 years, and of those that I was aware of that were doing the same, I don't think it worked out for any of them. I agree with you.

That said, there is something going on atm regarding NFTs, that is of real interest IMHO. The theory is that artists are going to be able to link their work to non-fungible tokens and in doing so, will be able to capture more value over time and build a better relationship with their audience. It's very early times, so there is plenty to doubt and be cynical about. However, I do believe the theory will be proven correct in time. If you are creating, I'd seriously look into experimenting with them. Currently, it seems that the number of sincere artists doing so is small, but growing. There's fertile ground there and the current economy for art is ineffcient AF.

I used to pile as much relish, mustard and onions on my 7/11 hotdog for the calories. I'd even do ketchup and I don't like ketchup. But the eggrolls tasted better, and sometimes I'd give in.
