I make NFTs and collect them (I know but please hear me out) and to me and many in my community it has nothing to do with property or ownership… Collecting someone’s art is just a way to financially support them, encourage them, and also to have a collection of all the art you were able to support.
I do it on the Tezos blockchain, which was created to use as little energy as possible, and all the art is backed up with redundancy on IPFS. There has already been one site going down (hicetnunc) and within 12 hours mirrors were up with all the same content etc.
That’s how it should be in my opinion… Free for all to view and play with, open to funding by patrons who want to support artists, and resistant to any kind of corporate ownership or shutdown.
My avatar for example was created by a friend (@[email protected]) who turned my avatar (self created) into an animation. I have it backed up locally ofc but knowing it exists on IPFS and the history of who made it and why is preserved on the blockchain gives me peace of mind, but I recognize that’s a personal feeling and I don’t expect everyone to view it the same way.
