Here's the paradox nobody talks about: you drop a million on an NFT art piece or digital collectible, thinking it's a flex, but the actual value proposition crumbles pretty fast. In reality, barely anyone shows up in person to experience it. Online? Even fewer stick around long enough to engage. And here's the kicker—among those who do see it on screen, half won't even bother checking if it's the real thing or just another AI-generated meme. The economics don't add up when participation is this fragmented. You're essentially paying top dollar for something that lives in a vacuum, where visibility doesn't translate to validation, and authenticity gets lost in the noise.
