Got banned for harassing mods because I was asking why I got banned automatically for participating in a different subreddit. As soon as I sent my second request asking why I was banned, I got permabanned.
Ridiculous, and there’s no appealing it either. Now if I want to check out my niche communities I need to load Reddit in a private tab with a VPN to scroll around my “inactive” account, but I never comment.
Hmm, no, in this case no argument is better than the stupidity you’ve proven capable of by comparing unofficial pirated downloads from one single source and not even taking sales numbers or any of the other 4 billion factors that influence sales of a video game into account.
Let me destroy your brain real quick: people pirate and then buy the game because it was good or it ran properly on their machine or they liked the gameplay. Surprise surprise!

You pay for something and get a receipt. You get ownership of an original image, such as a painting, transferred by a verified owner or creator. It’s mostly used for art now because the reputation hasn’t matured enough for an authority to link it to a physical item. But being able to own a 1 in 5 Nike release with a receipt that never decays and that you can transfer to others and verify the authenticity of on your phone just seems like the next step in ownership. Same with video games, for example, it’d allow a true second hand digital games market if game ownership was verified by owning a copy on a blockchain.
The hell you gonna use a painting for then? Like it or not, there’s physical art and digital art. Both are easy to copy, so it’s good to have an easy way to indicate ownership of an original.
Why does anyone pay for art when they can just copy paste it? Why do people pay for an original when a copy is just as good? Do you just not understand the concept of digital ownership? It doesn’t even have to be something like art, you could own one of a million copies of a movie and the token gives you cryptographic proof that you’re allowed to watch and sell this movie to others.
The receipt still never decays, link rot is pretty useless when the token just says “This art/media/object belongs to this person” as long as the art/media/object still exists the token is proof of who actually owns it and (hopefully in the future) who owns the rights to it.
If the NFT site goes down you still have your NFT registered on a publicly accessible verification chain. Anyone with or without original NFT site can see you own something.
I get that it’s new and I get that it’s scary when such big technological changes are made and people are testing them out in the real world but they’re here to stay. They’ve proven to be quite useful to people who got into them because of the ridiculous digital art NFT price speculation trend.
Turns out, the receipts are basically as bullet proof as a torrent, seeded by a couple of million people. That’s why decentralisation is so nice, you’re on Lemmy, I assume you understand.
Copyright is something legal, so as long as the law is out of date, there’s no support for digital copyright transfers. But ownership and authenticity is certainly transferable.
Anything better than the “you’ll own nothing and enjoy it” state of the internet today. It’d be amazing to own my movies and be able to transfer them to anyone I want.
And that whole comparison is only valid because there’s no laws about online ownership outside of copyright.
You don’t own anything at all, but NFTs are one of the only ways that we’ll ever be able to emulate ownership online. Seeing as our entire lives are moving there, I’m hopeful. You can be tired of them all you want, but nonetheless NFTs are the building blocks of decentralised ownership.
Also my copy of Pokémon Red and my Gameboy disagree with your statement about never owning a movie or game. I own most of my Switch games too, I can mod the cartridge however I want and I can resell it. Because I own it.
The whole point, by the way, is to have everything decentralised. You can’t take away my movies when there’s multiple, independent “sources” that I can claim the file from with my NFT. You don’t even need to give your private details away, you simply prove you own the private key that owns the NFT and you can watch your movie. Do you not see the bigger picture or are you too tired to look further?

There you go, and that’s why nobody should believe the commenter you replied to without him providing sources. Shame 10 people already agreed with him.
Sure, he made a statement based on incomplete information, like scientists literally always do, as the information is never complete. Especially not when you can’t wait for results of multi-year testing because millions of people are dropping dead.
Not when those shitstains on the road actually kill more people and pollute more of our shared planet. Same thing for sports cars. If you drive something so unnecessarily dangerous and bad for our shared space and you’re not using it for it’s purpose I will judge you with no sympathy.
Oh yeah the amount of hate I’ve seen is insane. People never give a shit about who wins but now it’s the end of the world and the end of 200 years of feminism apparently. God the things the internet cares about are pathetic
Sure, not the thousands of covid deaths he caused or the trillions in debt from the covid relief money printer or the top secret intelligence documents in a random bathroom or the numerous sexual assault allegations and outright admissions of guilt. Remember Stormy?
