Why are NFTs so Ugly?
Solar Sands・2 minutes read
NFTs have taken the art world by storm, with some collections criticized for repetitive designs while others like Cool Cats and Board Apes are praised for their aesthetics. Despite offering benefits like rarity and access to communities, NFTs face criticism for promoting scams and contributing to high energy consumption on networks like Ethereum.
Insights
- Mainstream NFTs often criticized for repetitive designs and perceived scammy nature, while collections like Cool Cats and World of Women showcase more aesthetically pleasing and congruous designs, emphasizing the importance of visual appeal in NFT success.
- NFTs offer benefits beyond art, including rarity, community access, and speculation opportunities, with Board Apes standing out as a higher tier due to commercial rights and trend-setting capabilities, despite challenges like art theft and scams in the current "wild west" stage of NFTs.
