i can't believe they're selling kids dress up games to dudes and calling them digital girlfriends. 😭 those look like something straight off of GirlsGoGames that i'd play when i was 7
IKR 😭 waiting for the day cryptobros pay 12k for an Elsa dress up game

Bruh, you’re not wrong XD
I mean.... There seems to me a genuine sex work aspect with real models being involved too. Despite what Kurtis said.... They probably are getting private chats with that one girl. Paid, private sexting is both common and legal. It's like the restaurant where people are taking a service that already exists and throwing nfts in for no reason.
Also, how does "randomly generated" sound appealing? There's no personalization in it to ensure everything is coherent, it's just RNG on what you'll get (or what they look like).
"Meta girlfriends are fully clothed and visible from the WASTE up" what an extremely unfortunate typo. and yet so fitting.
I didn't see this before my own comment, but it was basically the same thing I thought, except yours is much more clever, lol

@@samarnold5531I would love to see some actual data about whether men with abusive or pedophilic tendencies, if their tendency to commit crimes are less if they have a realistic sex doll, or if it causes them to commit more crimes.

@Ifgia Han🍏 Outta my way folks, i'm about to get it.

The idea that someone would spend millions of dollars on some ugly Picrew knockoff monkey when they could just use a bit of money to buy themselves Kurtis Conner merch is heartbreaking.
Agreed.

The term meta verse was originally used in a dystopian book about there being a better world that you could use to escape from the real world but then it just became the same place that you wanted to escape from. So the idea of paying for a house in the meta verse with real money honestly makes sense

This is like such a minor point but it's so weird when Fallon says "I got into this" and Hilton goes "I know. I got you into it." because they're.... supposed to pretend to be having a normal, impromptu conversation. We know they're not- they do rehearsals and stuff- but the idea behind a talk show is to avoid it looking like you just memorized a conversation. This is like telling your friend that watched a show with you to get you into it, that you're now into that show. Like, yeah, they know. They were there.
Well to be fair he's talking to both the guest and the audience
Fun fact, owning an NFT does not mean owning an image, but a link to said image since storing the image itself would be too heavy on the blockchain.

the idea of selling an imaginary monkey for 20 million dollars that doesn’t even mean anything, is literally the funniest thing i have ever heard.
no literally like no one can convince me this isn't a fever dream. I feel like everyone is lying to themselves about how cool they think their monkey looks
@@glowvxn They bought these monkeys for an absurd amount of money while drunk/high/on a dare and how have to justify it to themselves, lmao. Nobody can genuinely think they look cool.
They don't even own the monkey, they own a receipt and someone placed a monkey next to that receipt. I am not kidding it is actually that stupid.
even worse imagine destroying an actual priceless piece to turn it to an nft (real story using a bankzy piece)
Well I heard rich people are using these nfts for money laundering and tax evasions which wouldn't be surprising at this point
The funniest thing about Meta Girlfriends is that it's probably the highest effort NFT set I've seen. At least you're actually getting something when you pay for it even if it's just randomly generated porn.

I've never seen an NFT that wasn't a procedurally generated piece of trash. Like you can go to any artist with open commissions and they will draw whatever you want for a FRACTION of the cost of an NFT. An NFT is basically a Picrew but every time you create a character they burn down a part of the Amazon rain forest
I could literally hire an entire animation team to create a completely original character in an animated short and specify that that animation is mine for less than the price of one ridiculously priced art of an ugly monkey or a basic Picrew 'girlfriend' aimed at horny guys with too much to spend. Hell, I'm willing to bet that I'd be able to hire an entire animation studio to create a feature length film about my character for less than the price of an NFT collection.
It's just mindboggling to me that people settle for less than mediocrity.
EDIT: To the NFT bro comically missing the point below: yes, NFTs can have good art. It's still more environmentally friendly and supportive to artists to just commission them the normal way. Studio Ghibli films cost anywhere from 11 million to 34 million dollars to make. This is actually pricey in terms of animation already, but Ghibli created absolute classics that stand the test of time, and it didn't involve ruining the environment. Just imagine this: for the price of 24 NFTs valued at 1 million dollars each, you could have funded the making of Howl's Moving Castle. For the price of 19 similar NFTs, you could have funded Spirited Away.
Just because you slap a piece of technology on some decent art does not mean it's worth a hefty price tag, especially if it's just a single fucking image that you don't even actually own.
It's because the cost comes from "minting" the NFT, which is taking x Ethereum, and binding it to the NFT token though proof of work.
Aka They taped a 20$ bill to the back of a receipt that says you own this receipt and that's supposed to give it value, even though it takes away the use abd purpose it had beforehand.
Now, that's not fair! Sometimes it's quite nice art that has been stolen by NFT Bros scamming quick cash off of a real artist's hard work.
@@entothechesnautknight1762 to me nft is just some people who want to become rich fast and using this scheme they end up trolling each other.
The description of NFTs you just gave is my favorite one so far
Someone tried to make an NFT dating app, and then it got cancelled because there weren't enough women on it. Glorious.

Apparently the applause in the Paris Hilton interview was added in post. Someone in the comment section of that interview said they were there and the audience was silent during that part.
I think people took the plot of "Ready Player One" and just decided: "HEY Let's make that a real thing." That is what the Metaverse sounds like to me

the “if u bought a painting and just received a certificate of that painting” actually happens with conceptual art all the time, when people bought the banana taped to the wall they received a certificate of ownership and that was it lol
that's actually epic tbh. getting some rich person to pay for the concept of a banana taped to a wall? incredible. i respect that. getting everyday people to squander their money on something just as pointless under the guise that it's gonna shoot up in value and make them rich on the other hand just feels scummy
All to defraud uncle sam
As an artist i feel like NFTs as a concept are fundamentally not about art. This is about money and this is the most insane way capitalism has ever interacted with art. I even understand paying a zillion dollars for a solid blue painting with a line on it more than paying tens of thousands for a png. At least there's something to be said of owning art that is personal, customized, or tangible.
NFT can be as personalized and customizable as regular art. Sure people can screenshot it, just like someone can take a picture of a painting or make a print or even make an impressive replica; but that print would not be the same as the original Van Gogh. The second art became monetized, it became more than something done for pure pleasure. People have been using art to embezzle money for a long time now. If people want it, someone will find a way to profit. NFTs really are just digital trading cards, where you can prove that yours is in fact the original. They are even making specialized digital frames so you can hang the NFT in your house. Still super weird, but it's just something new we don't understand yet.
I honestly feel like NFTs would be most helpful to photographers, but I'm pretty uninformed
The best art ever created was commissioned art. “Whoa dude … like … capitalism and art, maaaan …” You are not smart.
@@mkat8505 I would disagree to be honest, I feel like commissioning an art piece would be way more supportive of artists rather that paying for a randomized PNG. Also, with commissioned art, it can have value according to many factors such as skill and whoever drew it; with nfts it has nothing ‘special’ about it as most of the time they’re generated randomly. That’s my opinion- feel free to disagree,
@@sybo59 she said it's the MOST INSANE way capitalism has interacted with art, the popes and nobles of Italy (not to mention elsewhere) would regularly commission architects, artists and sculptors to work on churches or just flights of fancy. It really is a strange interaction, ripping off actual artists to sell nothing
The worst thing I’ve seen was multiple accounts selling “NFT Slaves” or “Meta Slaves. Photographs of black people to “own”. They had George Floyd as an Easter egg. One account went as far as to doing 8-but style renderings of him in different outfits. It’s really sickening. I dislike nfts and the bitcoin stuff but it was only a matter of time someone did something like this w nfts :((
That's so fucked up wth ??
oh my god??? oh my god what the fuck
what the fuck??????
no cause what the actual fuck??
That is disgusting. However, here this is where NFTs are better than physical paintings or cash money: YOU CAN TRACK WHO MADE AND WHO HAS PURCHASED IT. All that information is stored on the block chain.
“Are you an incel AND an NFT bro?”
Where’s that “they’re the same picture” meme from The Office when you need them?
The fact that half of nfts are just sad versions of picrews 😭
but if Picrews were something you had to pay ungodly amounts of money for💀-
What offends me the most with NFTs is that people are willing to pay more for a drawing that is randomly generated from an AI and isn’t even unique (same pose, reused assets, unpleasant aesthetic) but will get angry when an artist asks for 20$ to make a fully custom art piece that is unique to them and made by an actual person who knows how to put elements together in a pleasing way.
I know right it pisses me off.
yea its almost like its money laundering🙃
oh wait it is
this! i genuinely cannot understand why people are paying millions of dollars for art that was literally generated at random, but then freak out when an artist who put actual time and effort into creating a unique piece asks for money. also, a lot of artists need that money to pay for like… basic needs. the money people are paying for nfts is, in a lot of cases, going to already rich companies
Literally, like the nft girlfriends are just overpriced girl go games
I know it's insane
I’m an art student in college and me and my friends have had a lot of NFT bros from the school trying to get us to make NFT art for them and harassing us on social media. They kept spam emailing out entire art club during finals. They are offering little to no money, calling it an “investment opportunity” and even tried to have a NFT competition where you submit art, and only the “winner” gets paid. NFTs do not support artists, they are just another way people exploit artists for money.
@be good dude, quit spamming.
It's supposed to be the artist making and profiting off the NFT, not a 3rd party. That's one of the attractions of the Blockchain, cutting out abusive 3rd parties (like banks). These dudes hitting you up for free art is basically the opposite of what is supposed to happen
Graphic design student and same dude. One of my most fav professor recommended us to do NFT and it’s safe to say I don’t like him anymore
@@icecreamcloud3372 Are you being paid for any of your work?
I’ve commented this on a couple posts, but I think it would be useful in this thread as well! As an artist myself who is pursuing a degree in fine arts, NFTs can be incredibly useful for artists’ control of their works. Many times artists will sell a piece to someone for a cheaper price, but once the artist becomes popular, the person who bought the original work can resell it for up to 10 times the buying price. While it’s awesome that the artist’s work increases in value, they receive absolutely no percentage of that resell. In the fine art world, NFTs are becoming an incredibly effective way to control the percentage that the artist gets from every resell of that piece. Say they sold the original work for thousand dollars, and someone resells that for a million, they can decide on the royalties that they get off of that piece. While I get the ridiculousness of buying memes for a shit ton of money, there is definitely a benefit for artists if they are able to use the system correctly. My professor is actually doing research right now regarding the fine art market and the use of NFTs, and the stuff that she’s finding out is incredibly interesting and a value to people who want to make a career out of selling their art. Just thought it would be cool to share some of the benefits of NFTs! I know that the first time I ever heard of them I thought it was stupid, but after learning a little bit more about how they can actually benefit the art world, I think they’re pretty cool! You can definitely use NFTs on physical works as well, it just acts as sort of a title that a person owns, and that title gets transferred whenever they sell the piece!
I got into making NFTs back in early 2022, was just drawing them on my iPad and giving them similiar but different characteristics, made a ton of money. But now it sucks and everything about them sucks. Never going back to it
how much did you make?
As an artist and somone who genuinely doesn’t want to live on a planet that we’ve killed more, nfts make me quite angry, from the fact it’s so easy to steal an artists work and use it and then also it takes so much energy to do it
I like how an outfit change for the metagirlfriends is enough to say they have "unique personalities". I see why they'd need metagirlfriends.
When I heard that unique personalities bit I was almost a little impressed, until i realized how little that actually meant. Silly me.

Then they put some bullshit description of their "personalities" and it's basically the same sentence, like Mad Libs "insert personality trait here" "insert favorite food here" then hate real women for having opinions
yeah they make these pathetic little ornaments that kinda look like women because they hate actual real women. they desire our bodies but they don't want to treat us like human beings, metagirlfriends are a reflection of that
And theyre the same people who complains that women dont have personality when they actually met a real person
a personality is scott
Ugh, women don't even have a personality!! They don't even wear a funny hat or have a bread knife shoved through their head!
As an artist, seeing people will pay thousands of dollars for a badly drawn NFT but not 60 for a personalized art commission breaks my heart and makes me cry more than them when they realize their JPEGs can be stolen

@@somrone9236 for real, these nft look like a crappy dress up game, with randomized character accessories.

As an artist, NFT are just bad - people say that they want to support artists, that's why they spend so much on NFTs, yet they don't want to pay 20 buck for a full custom made artwork.
If people really cared about artists, they would commission them or buy their gadgets; and if you can't afford to pay for stuff, you can always support them sharing their artworks and liking their post (especially with smaller artists like me this truly helps a lot).
Overall this is just a big and more complicated pyramid scheme.
Agree!
EXACTLY
The Venn diagram of people who tell me my prices are “too high” and the people who tell me that NFTs are “a good investment” is a circle.

People have started minting MY art without my consent, it's getting sold for a LOT more than the commissions I did it for. Not only is it bad for small artists, but it's also HORRIBLE for the environment, NFTs have created enough energy to power a small country. It's horrible.

As a female, (or just a human being) the concept of the meta girlfriends is really fucking gross, creepy, and makes me feel icky all over
Yes,same here!
ikrr
Eh, to me it just seems like another version of the whole waifu thing that happens in the anime community or one the 1000s of self insert fanfictions on the internet that are often times adult in nature, which is in my opnion not that bad you're not hurting anybody, there are always people who take it too far to the point that their appreciation of that character is an unhealthy obsession although that is not unique to this kind of content people will always find something to obsess over if they feel the need to. (Still don't like NFT's though)
dude as a GUY it makes me feel gross
both genders agree that meta girlfriends are shit
And a year later I haven't heard anyone utter the word NFT.
I feel like the worst thing about NFTs actually is the environmental impact. Yeah, they're weird, and pointless, and depressing, and creepy, and probably represent the beginning of the end for our lobotomite species, but all of that stuff would be just another horrendous internet trend if it weren't for the fact that every single fucking one of those things is killing the planet for no reason
Also the tax évasion isnt cool
There's an eco-friendly blockchain called Wax but it's more underrated
i feel like people talk more about the other aspects as well to discourage people from nfts bc anytime anyone talks only about the environment aspects randos pop up talking about more eco friendly nfts while not actually addressing any of the other issues
Yeah, nfts becoming a thing right now just feels severely tone deaf. Climate change who?
they pollute more than entire countries

I may be wrong but I think alot of celebrities are actually forced to talk about them because the people that contract them have ties to the nfts so they make the celebrities talk and buy them to artificially inflate the price of them

What really annoys me about the meta girlfriend NFTs is, that they are marketed as sexy even though they have the same art style as half of these hyper sexualized mobile game ads, that have nothing to do with the actual game. If you wanted to pay a lot of money for unique NSFW art, why not commission an artist. There are a lot of people who will draw stuff that’s way more appealing and you can actually tailor the artwork to your taste.
its a pyramid scheme. the value of NFTs is purely hype to get suckers to buy them so the original "investors" can get payed out. It's MLM to a tee.
It’s just weird because it seems like they’re trying to play up the utility of the NFT itself (if you can call the ability to jerk off to something utility, which i feel like you can). And NFT’s just have no fucking utility. They never have, not even the utility of just being nice to look at. I mean, there’s nice art that’s been minted, but as evidenced by the fucking apes, the quality of the art is completely irrelevant. NFT’s literally just serve the purpose of indicating that you spent a shitload of actual money on theoretical money so that the galaxy brains who think that shit’s “the future” will invite you to their circle jerk. Like if NSFW NFT sellers actually wanted to compete with actual NSFW digital artists, they would never fucking be able to. The whole thing isn’t based on any functional product, it’s just based on hyping up cryptocurrency and block chains. They’ll never be able to compete with people who have actual functional products and when people like metagirfriends try to their product is just comically sad.
@@daltonbedore8396 it's more like a ponzi scheme tbh
they aint even pretty, atleast make them look like actual women
Yeah I don’t get it. Men have different tastes but EVERY SINGLE one of these NFT girlfriends looks the same, the body type and the face. You can commission an artist to draw you the “perfect” girlfriend and it would actually look decent, unlike this.
ok, i always used to think that 'nft' meant not for trade. when i was younger i was obsessed with this mobile game, animal jam, where you would trade pets and stuff, and i just found out that it didn't mean that
To quote every grey haired middle school art teacher "earth without art is just eh"
The way that the artist for the bored apes (shes known as Allseeing Seneca) wasnt even compensated or credited for her work really proves how obsessed nfts are in fucking over artists
Wow, that’s so ironic. Nfts weren’t designed to benefit artists, they were designed for greedy people to make money off of art. The ape nfts are just about the least creative thing I’ve ever seen, and they all look the same. This isn’t doing anything for art or artists.
I agree and I hate how its marketed to artists as some digital thing made specifically for them. It's not. This is just like buying junk of Gaia online or Neopets that's limited. It has nothing to do with the art of the neopet-it's just the fact that its exclusive and rare. NFTs are just trying to bet on which Neopet everyone wants before they know the market. As all these rich people are showing-it has nothing to do with they actual artistic value of anything. The most popular ones have super simplistic designs and are marketable.
This isn’t true at all. All of the artists were paid up front for their work, and then each paid an extra $1 million after the project took off.
@@SteadyStew monkey nft profile picture, comment discarded.
And the people who commissioned her are *allegedly* white nationalist libertarians who make semi-transparent n*zi references
my issue with the meta girlfriends isn’t even that they’re not real, or that the dudes can’t get laid irl or whatever. to me the problem is the fact they view women that way in the first place…literal commodities? they want to buy “girlfriends”? they think buying the girlfriend means they can see her naked? I mean I’m not saying they all view real women the exact same way but that raises some fucking massive red flags. like unpopular opinion here but I don’t care if you date anime girls or whatever. but buying them? to be entitled to exclusive viewing of their naked bodies? that’s weird. really fucking weird
THIS. something about it feels so creepy and weird
Damn I didn't even think about it that way. Thanks for opening up another perspective on this whole thing.
no that is literally correct, they literally do view real women the same way. There's a SUPER popular "relationship" podcast on spotify where the main host has said some wild shit that all points to him literally thinking of women as property. He thinks its cheating for a woman to have an instagram if he's dating them, and thinks because "I buy you things, only I get to decide how things go."
This is exactly the sort of thing that crossed my mind. It’s just so gross.
exactly!

@@Whatlander he’s more self aware than most of the celebrities so I guess that’s something
I think the comparison to Pokémon cards is still being generous to NFTs. you can get people inflating prices but if a card is expensive it's usually because it was a rare print and/or is a desirable one. more recent cards have been known to intentionally run short stock to inflate prices but even still they're physical items with meaning. NFTs are entirely not unique and their "rarity" is completely artificial while being completely destructible because you can screenshot and repost that image anywhere
Also, things like Pokémon cards are part of a game that you can play and compete with other people n such
@@GuntWastelander yep meaning they do have an actual use beyond just owning and collecting them
exactly, someone had to put time and effort into creating the art on the cards, and nfts are literally computer generated
Dan Olson from Folding Ideas made a fantastic two hour video about NFTs for anyone who wants to know more. The "rarity" is just as meaningless as it seems. A fantastic watch.
right click, download the picture and you're the owner
i think nfts appeal to our apparent obsession with property and ownership. people are neurotic about proving they own an online doodle. it’s extremely weird

Literally I know of people who've spent house mortgages on furry art, and I personally will say that's more respectable than an NFTbro trying to grift on an environmental hazard.
their money is supporting artists more than nfts ever will. like damn if I’m gonna spend money I’d rather help out people rather than waste my money on a link of an environmentally-damaging ugly icon

Money spent on wolf yiff commission > money spent on blockchain digital certificate
At least with the art I can save it on my hard drive and do whatever to it, but GOD FORBID I try to download a $20,000 monkey picture from a server.
If I get a comic commission of my furry OC zalithar, the conqueror of stars and sower of nations, getting hard vored by a Lesbian salazzle polycule, then not only did I get something I personally wanted, I also stimulated the economy by giving money to a laborer and value generator that will go out into the wider economy, brought something entirely original into the world, and brought a new form of enjoyment for multiple other people too.
Meanwhile, spending that much on NFTs just gives that money to leeches who will hoard it all between themselves, and I get a worthless hyperlink that might not even work if the DMCA takedown notice goes through.
i genuinely can not believe we witnessed this whole thing as a society and there are still people out here preaching that rich people and the smartest, most valuable people in the world.
Idk why but all of this is reminding me of buying VIP in movie star planet. i wanted to buy that shit so bad just so i could go into the VIP club and when i finally did it was dumb asf

Tired of objectifying fictional women for free? Upset that prostitution is illegal? So deeply socially inept that you’re willing to go into debt to feel like someone would willingly get naked for you and only you?

Those people who buys those nft are probably commenting on how Robots Will replace women
like, I am personally okay with the concept of drawn hypersexualised women, but putting a price tag to it and then trying to trade them like trading cards? Do these people not understand that Hentai exists? Like why go the extra mile to "own" them? Sounds just like they are more willing to pay companies to mass produce 3D models than support NSFW artists (which btw are relatively cheap compared to NFTs)
