Someone I knew took pictures of a random person and sell it on open sea, the crazy thing is someone actually bought the pictures, this is just stupid honestly but who wouldn't want to make money just because something looks so stupid? I am not going to wait around and keep condemning NFTs when I can make money out of them.
Actually it's not stupid because everyone always judges works of art differently through their views, so that every work of art in the form of a photo does not deserve to be called stupid, especially since the photo can also be used for promotional events.
So as long as it can still be useful, then it's not stupid but on the contrary, especially if you can make money with it.
You are right, however look at how the NFT world has been approaching the "art" side of things. As you may have seen, there are so many things that are not artsy and make no sense that went up a lot. Crypto punks, apes, all of that have absolutely no reason to be as high as it is right now.
Most probably they are just money laundering or fake pumped to be that high, otherwise it makes no sense for such an "art" to be that high. Do you really see any value in these images? I personally do not and I fear that people have overpriced them heavily and they will end up losing so much because of this, their investments will erode overtime for sure.
