Yes, the enthusiasm for NFTs has cratered, but we shouldn't use junk analysis to make that point. Too many news outlets uncritically reprinted a bad "study", and the resulting eye-catching headline was widely shared.
@molly0xfff Nice reporting and awesome conclusion! Even if we intuitively agree with a research's results, we should never accept it if the methodology is wrong.
@molly0xfff all the news coverage is shite these days.
CNN runs a story "El Paso Walmart shooter agrees to pay more than $5.5 million in restitution in federal case", and doesn't think it fit to consider that the shooter (who is serving 90 life sentences) will never have $5.5 million.
@molly0xfff It's pretty frightening how a story that relied upon a report by "dappGambl" (lmao) propagated so quickly simply because someone thought "hey, everybody hates NFTs, let's write an article that will get shared widely even though who the f*ck knows or cares what dappGambl actually is"
In the case of NFTs it's pretty benign but damn it's scary to think how this quest for clicks could be used by bad actors for something that actually matters...
