a lot of people seem to miss that the entire point of NFTs is to make content FREE while making ownership scarce. nobody is forcing you to pay for an NFT, you can still enjoy it FOR FREE alongside everybody else. you like my music? you can have it for free.

scarce ownership empowers artists to make WAY more income without stupid ad based models. it eliminates the exploitative models of Spotify, Apple, Amazon, etc.. unit based/per play economics in an infinitely copiable medium makes no sense whatsover.

when a work is priced by creating infinite digital copies, it’s no surprise that it’s priced incredibly low. It’s an old physical world concept that was embraced by web2. web3 flips this concept and provides a new model. infinite free access for all but scarce ownership.
