    Except that the whole reason these “artists” made the “art” to begin with was to make an end-run around regulations.

    These people were not driven to art because they liked making art. They liked that they could make a profit from art like the paper handed bitches they are.

      That also applies to a lot of meatspace modern art.

        Yep, and that needs better regulation as well. Most of the “high-art” of the world is stupid shit literally used for money laundering, and NFTs just want a piece of that money-laundering pie.
