Yesterday, @˗ˏˋ wakest ˎˊ˗ gave me a compelling alternate narrative for #NFT as patronage rather than speculation vessel or multi-level marketing scam. Patrons pay for the art to be made but it can still be published publicly. Unlike Patreon, artists don’t have to hide anything behind a paywall.

Granted, it isn’t the most popular narrative, both in volume of money exchanged and in volume of interest on social media, but it has a faint redeeming quality to it that I enjoy.
