You didn't mention it but I thought I'd point out how TERRIBLE the storyboarding/screen direction was in this. Idk who was responsible because they didn't have any storyboarders listed in their credits. If I took a shot for every time they "broke" the 180 degree rule, or failed to indicate a transition, establish a character/motives, establish a setting, lingered on unnecessary details.....etc. I'd absolutely be dead
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo exactly, at the start of the craze I saw a bunch of people putting effort into actually unique high quality art NFTs. that was my tiny bit of optimism, that at the very least, despite everything that is wrong with it , good artists were at least getting something out of it, and then people decided that getting the procedurally generated low quality profile pics was better. and my tiny silver lining was completely gone.

It makes me feel all of the revulsion I used to feel watching SUPERJAIL!, but with none of the love, effort, or joy that went into making that show the glorious hybrid of Tom & Jerry, OZ, and Hieronymus Bosch that made it worth watching. SUPERJAIL! was gloriously, proudly ugly at times but it was the sort of ugly that can only be produced by people who care about their craft and want to put on a good show for the people who paid the price of admission.
NFTs just devalue genuinely good art. As an artist I can't understand why someone would want to pay for the lowest quality 'art' instead of commissioning a passionate artist who needs the money. It's a slap in the face to actual artists.
Like the other people said, they don’t actually really care about the art, is probably because is “expensive” and because its trendy or whatever really
I've legit seen animation memes made by self-taught child artists better than this. The fact that children can animate better than these adults is tragic.
There are so many Warrior Cats animated fan projects online, and chances are they're made by actual 14 year olds. Some of them could easily have been Disney and I'm not kidding. What's this trash's excuse?
don't piss on the animators its not their fault for being pulled in to doing this and there is no shame of picking up a new hobby which at the start you are not gonna be making a magnus opus
Truly, it's no wonder those NFT-Bros cheered. It perfectly embodies their culture : a soulless cashgrab made for people who don't understand beauty and can't appreciate art except as a way to make money or, as you said, for the bragging rights
As a digital artist, and someone who is pursuing a career in animation, I’m TERRIFIED that this NFT garbage will actually devalue artists and make them slaves to the dollar 😞
Same here. I am working very hard to be a game artist in the future, and NFTs are ruining the environment and ACTUAL artists as a whole. Remember to support your fellow artists with commissions and trades, not NFTs! NFT? No fucking thanks!
@@MASTEROFEVIL "Just like every other form of art" Right? like this was the first type of scam that has to do with art. And there are actual paintings that are just blue that people buy for a lot of money... so why is this any different?
Just remember that hazbin hotel's pilot made by a bunch of people that doesn't had even half the budget has a better animation, backgrounds, voice acting, special effects, and ACTUALLY stablish the universe and the characters of the show
Even if I don’t even like either of those shows anymore and ended up having to stop watching it (and won’t be watching Hazbin either) due to how the creator made some rather… interesting decisions with them. Even for that, I gotta admit that the production of both are extremely impressive for an indie series.
These designs are so simplistic and poorly made that it'd be trivially easy to replace, plus it's so easy to save things on the internet, the entire concept is so horrible
I also love that people say that like it means NFTs are unique. They're not, you can make as many NFTs for a work as you want, so it's actually _less_ valuable than a certificate of authenticity that you'd get with a unique work. Edit: oh, by the way, NFTs are totally replaceable and pirate copies are already being made.
the thing is, the cartoon plays out EXACTLY how a sarcastic spiteful parody cartoon made to laugh at the very idea of an NFT cartoon would play out. But it's the OFFICIAL CARTOON.
Kekeflipnote, HotDiggedyDemon, Pilot Red Sun. Heck, even the less technical or 'technically not animation' channels like Berd, Sr Pelo, Circle Toons HD and Sam O Nella have way higher quality, way more effort and way more entertainment value than Red Ape Family. I feel like I've disrespected them by stating them in the same sentence as 'that'.
Useless information but Flash as a program still exists. It’s just been renamed to Adobe Animate. It’s not the best program around but this was definitely because of the priorities of the people making it, not Flash.

Bro, my buddies have NFT Tuesdays in which we all sit around someone’s computer with snacks and webserf for an NFT we want. Then we right-click “save image as” and make a big deal as if we hacked the mainframe. Literally we FIGHT over which NFT we want and my friends will pretend to be on a budget. At this point it’s a ritual.
Because nfts are about the profits not about the art. If people are stupid enough to buy the Same ugly computer generated images , why waste time creating actual good art for 25+ dollars? But hey , highly doubt nfts are gonna stay relevant
Seeing NFTs make so much money makes me want to make a shitty NFT myself, as someone who really does need money. Only problem is that I'd be sacrificing both my honor as an actual artist and duping gullible people into buying shitty NFTs
I was thinking that myself lol! But realistically I know I can't deal with knowing I intentionally scammed someone and harmed the environment like that. I will remain poor for now 😅
I was there too for a brief second. But then I learned more about it. You'd probably not making money at all. Only a few lucky ones and ones that already have a name/career. It's not worth selling yourself for probably not a single cent.
Okay for real though, NFT fanboys are the most ridiculous people on the internet. Saw a guy literally say "why do I need women when I have my NFTs? If anything, the females will be flocking to me." Yes. He literally said female like he was filming a goddamn National Geographic documentary.
At least he didn't call women "Birthing people". But still it is hilarious how cringe these people are. And how oblivious they are to the cringe they create

i would not go as far as to call NFTs a fucking art movement though. it's not really art it's just ugly stock pictures that only serve as placeholders. calling NFTs an art movement would mean placing them in the same category as like... Art Nouveau or Impressionism and i don't think i need to explain why NFTs don't deserve even a fraction of that privilege
Dude is a dam shady business, they are using this sht to justify a shady business backstage, you have too be dam stupid to believe this is worth 2 shts, money laundering in plain daylight

The only reasons they buy it for mansions party idk but I don’t care also I forgot the blockchain so they own it so if you screenshot it the blockchain will say the person own it talk to an NFT owner who has been doing it for years
Got curious why some people in the artshare community don't want NFTS on their tweets, it's like an ass bait for them and they never wanted to get caught or something. but for AS sakes....yeah NFTs do get a bad rep big time.
I appreciate NFTs for teaching me that art can truly be souless and corporate. I previously thought that all forms of art, no matter what, had at least a bit of soul and passion put into it, but this showed me i was wrong. The Red Ape Family, and all NFTs should not be considered art. It's a travesty in the history of humanity. We should all be ashamed of this.
Sickening when it's held up as some standard for art, or pretending that people are spending that much on it because they think art is just that good, and the barrier to entry low enough to liberate struggling artist to pursue their dream of...getting rich quick? I know art is a job but I think many people would have too much of a conscience.
Its disappointing. Modern Art and Pop Art has never been my thing but I had hoped that at least the artist loved their art or the process of making it. When Andy Warhol died they found that his house was decorated with more classical style artwork, and not the style he created. Business man first, artist second.
You don’t see art auctions going away any time soon. Yes, it is a completely viable way to launder money in plain sight without getting in trouble. Fantastic isn’t it? Fuck the feds
LIKE HOW CAN NFT BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE EIFFEL TOWER? A huge building that can work as a tourist site, with a rich and old history and would be hard to move IF ANYTHING that's more scarce than NFT that can literally be copy and pasted
I’m an artist and I don’t have anything against NFT’s as a technology. They have a use, but as the kids say; “this ain’t it, fam.” Blame the scammers, because they’re the ones deterring legitimate innovators from coming into the space and coming up with novel uses for NFT’s. It’s always this way, humans come up with an awesome new technology and then the worst people in the world move in immediately and use the tech for the most horrific purposes imaginable. But I think maybe I’m arguing semantics here and you probably don’t have a problem with the technology itself and more so have a problem with how it’s being used. Crypto as a whole isn’t exactly great for the environment, but there are definitely bigger fish to fry if we want to actually help the environment.
I don't find it coincidental that the Dislike button was disabled in December. Makes me wonder if they're going to bring back YT Rewind now that it can't get ratio'd anymore.
NFT culture is an “art” culture built by people who hate artists and it makes me want to tear my hair out Edit: idk man I said something abt my hair and then I got rid of it bc it sounded dumb as hell
Art literally is not important for them. In terms of levels for NFTs, art is the last thing they're worried about. They don't care about the art they make, nor do they care about everyone else's art. Don't stress on them, its a waste of oxygen.
For clarification: NFT is NOT THE ART, but the LINK of the art. They're selling a random URL, and since it needs something, they slap on it whatever buttfuckugly image they have. Even the NFT bros think it's about the art, but it's not. It's the concept of exclusivity. It's the URL. It's like buying a star, but only one website recognizes that you bought a star.
Exactly! NFT is the link to an encrypted block in a blockchain, not the art itself. It's more like when you buy a game from steam. You get the key, which is stored in their servers, to access that game
This is the best description I've seen Imagine you went up to the mona lisa and said "I'd like to own this". Someone nearby says "give me 65 million dollars, and I'll burn down part of the Amazon to give you a receipt of purchase". You pay them, and they give you a receipt of purchase. They go to an unmarked supply closet in the back of the museum and post a handmade label saying "mona lisa currently owned by Gaming With Noah" so if anyone wants to know who owns it they have to find this specific closet in this hallway and look behind the right brooms. You ask "can I take the mona lisa home now?" and they say "god no, are you stupid? You only bought the receipt saying you own it, you didn't buy the actual mona lisa, you can't actually take the real mona lisa" and then he gives you a print of the mona lisa from the gift shop. Also, the person you paid has never at any point in time owned the mona lisa. Does this make no sense? Does it seem like something no rational person would ever be interested in? Then you've understood it perfectly.
Basically it's people wanting to claim ownership of something, so that if you go look in the huge ethereum network (which is basically where they register all those who bought or sold something with their own type of money called Ether, which is what they like to call cryptocurrency cause it's literally a currency that only exists online), you'll find "this person owns this thing", as in its official and they have it, its theirs. But that's it, people can still literally take screenshots of it if they want to use it, cause you can't stop them, it's the internet. And most of the time it's just something rich people like to do to show off how they possess "valuable and costly" things. When the general public really doesn't care. It's a big cash grab honestly, it's like those very expensive but trashy pieces of art some artists like to call "art" and sell for millions to the richest, exactly like that
the character designs look like what a high schooler would draw during Algebra II. I know because I drew dome ugly shit like that when I was ignoring my teachers.
They say this "supports" artists when it is easy as hell to commission them AND completely customizable! NFT's hurts artists more than any amount of piracy.
While I agree that I think those people wouldn't even have commissioned art in the first place so it doesn't hurt to lose them, they are trying to get other people on board who don't know any better.
Not to mention that it's way more affordable both for commissioners and artists to just fucking pay them directly???????? Instead of bullshit cryptocurrency that no normal human being actually can have access to????
You're saving a mountain if you choose to commission an artist over buying an NFT if you compare their prices. Not only that, but you're also benefiting a real human being and not someone who relies on randomly generated images & running a money scheme...
All that about "NTF helps to artists" is a big smelly BS, just an excuse to give artificial value to their crypto, they are using artists as "Troy Horse" but the intention to really help artists is just BS.
When I was in University for the fine arts one of my fav professors told the class first day. "if you want to make it in the art world there is only one thing you need to do, and the quality or statements of your work has nothing to do with it. The only thing you have to do is convince the rich bastards of the world that your artwork will make them more prestigious. The better and more unique your brown nosing to the rich, the more money you'll make." To me, that's why NFTs are becoming so overpriced, and the controversy seems to just add to it and the block chain is the gimmick. It's like the art actions but for those who only live on the internet.
The only things that these rich fat bastards wants are a expensive rare item with their name on it. This frustrates me so bad, cuz this reminds of a irl story i had. I'm a musician and sometimes when i need a little cash i would grab my guitar, head out to the center of the city and start playin like crazy and at the end of the day, i would sit in a bench and start drinking coffee or something and start watching an old man painting something on the street... It was fantastic, the old man used all kinds of techniques, from spray cans, to pencils and even rags with paint on it... It was so beautiful to see, the experience of the old man, his passion and absolute genius of how he distorted reality in a piece of paper. I bought that painting and it's one of my most valuable things i have, i can still touch it and feel in the paint the passion of that fellow old man. Honestly, this is what i most fear i hate about nfts... The chance of these nfts getting available for everyone and start forgetting about true art. Nfts are the most souless business bs ever created and i hate it so much
Apparently, a lot of people don't buy NFT for the art but for it to be 'flipped' and make a profit out of it when the price of certain NFTs go up. So there's that. Will the bubble burst? I'm not saying I'm hoping for it but
@@Horus4302 In the music and the acting industries it makes sense They are the product as well In the rest of it, not so much And many famours artists in general were as charismatics as a moldy potato
The thing with Stoner Cats is that the creators actually cared about what they were making and the people who bought into it were given the opportunity to dictate the progression of the show. This shit is just a soulless money grab from people who give zero fucks about the the quality and artistic merit of their final product.
Honestly I respect it.. Cause scams where they say you have a virus on your device or owe them alot of money just so they can steal your money is much worse. Since in this situation it's just people being dumb, buying something that oubviously doesn't hold as much value as they think it does. So thats completely on them.

One thing I noticed in the "show" (if you can even call it that): there's literally a picture of that "modern art piece" of a banana taped to a wall hidden as an easter egg in the first episode. I just found that funny because it's so appropriate. Modern art and the NFTs craze both come down to "rich people buying low-effort low-quality "artpieces" just to show off".
That actually reminds me, theres actually a lot more to Jackson pollocks work than money laundering. Here’s the link. th-cam.com/video/aArkZqYC99c/w-d-xo.html
It’s so pretentious and shows the massive disconnect between the haves and have nots in the world. No normal human being would ever consider a banana duct taped to a wall to be legitimate art. But the pretentious wealthy will monologue about it’s “artistic qualities” in an attempt to justify it’s inclusion in high end collections and explain it’s ridiculous price. Much like how they attempt to do the same with their own wealth, when it was extracted from the surplus value generated by their wage slaves. Just another blatant example of the Emperor’s New Clothes.
So, i remember sending some drawings i made to my dad to print them out because of school. When he saw them he was really happy and proud; however theres this thing i do in my pieces on where i put the title/name on the drawing itself (mainly, for aesthetics and i enjoy it) and he saw i liked doing this he was like: *"you should remove them, its not good as a nft if theres letters on it."* Although heres the thing: i *never* even told him i wanted to sell my art this way. and then he goes on explaining on how this is a good thing and he wants to sell them to help our family shtick. Like yeah, i want to help and sell my art, but not as an *nft.*

@@divathesocialite6153 My time was a little over 5 seconds (with lots of improvement possibilities). I went into their crypto talk chat and spammed something against NFTs, that chat is heavily moderated and someone instantly banned me.
I’m absolutely disgusted by these. Not just from the style, but also from the greed these people have. These aren’t artists, these are inexperienced assholes who think art is “easy” and use the one thing they probably drew by following a fucking tutorial to scam people. I’ve been drawing since I was in literal diapers and this makes me sad. This isn’t the culture we as artists have tried to keep, this isn’t what art is. As I see it, art is supposed to be used as a way to make imagination a reality. I really hope NFT’s die off or become more friendly. (Note: I don’t have any problems with following tutorials, hell, I do still, but it seriously looks directly copied off something or just straight up traced)
Feels like an extension of that icky commercial feel in art. Where the quality is chipped away in favor of marketability. Artists that put passion into it are essentially being told to move over and let these shallow works be considered the "true" purpose and form of art. It reeks of "get rich quick" and seems to be a bait to get people to either scramble to buy, or scramble to slap something together and hope someone else is dumb enough to buy it, without caring about the art it's self. I think the "value" of art isn't everything- especially when it's clearly being manipulated. Someone spending a few minutes tracing over a template and recoloring it isn't inherently superior than work that strives to connect with the audience just because someone has money to throw at it.
Lumunei i saw a twitter post once where someone took a picture of red ape family to make a shirt and one of the creators went balistic and was like ``This is my property!!!! I'm gonna sue the hell out of you, enjoy your comfortable lifestyle while you still can i'm going to ruin you!!!
I haven't been on social media for most of this year so I didn't know how mainstream NFT's had gotten. I thought they were pretty stupid when I first found out about them, but it was cool I saw some great digital artists finally starting to get paid for their work through NFTs. Now it just seems like it has become people who don't give a shit about art pumping out what they can for other rich assholes to buy as a status symbol. I definitely feel like this is a fad that will pass but tf do I know lol.
Imagine if they try to build a fandom by adding lore to the characters, making some of them have some sexual tension and giving them sad backstories 😭😭😭
The technology has practical applications, the problem is those practical applications are predicated on the existence of stuff that doesn't actually exist right now. An example is metaverse.
I wish you were right, but look where we are with Postmodern art: we have entire galleries dedicated to it and now you can't say you're an artist without the average person thinking "Oh, so they can draw, or do they just smear shit on a canvas?"
@@yomilemondragon1721 Except NFT art isn't being sold as art; it's being sold as stocks. High price art is used by rich people as a way to store money long term without it being taxed. The goal with buying art is to sell it at about the same or slightly higher price decades from buying it. The (stated) goal with NFTs is to double your money in a year or less. The problem is in order to sell your NFT for twice as much you have to convince someone else that they can sell it for even more. Eventually, there's no more suckers left to buy. The more money involved, the faster you reach the bottom of the pyramid and no one wants to be the one stuck with the monkey.
The funny thing about these “artists” selling their art as NFTs is that 9 times out of 10, they’re not even selling the art. They’re basically selling the receipts for the art.

My favorite part is that the basic conflict of the episode doesn't even work. An NFT can't be on a flash drive, because an NFT is not the image itself, it's a URL based inside of a web server. The image is just an add-on to give the impression that what you're purchasing has substance as well as value.

As both an artist and an environmental scientist, this last year has been HELL for me. Godspeed to you for being able to ignore the NFT craze for so long (until this monstrosity).
Dude you are an online artist, you have nothing to do with nft, you can’t provide the services this ppl need, you are a nobody (not meant to offend you) and they need a name to take the money load for shady businesses and money laundering, like with real art in real life, and you can’t clean money from shady businesses my friend, you are an artist but you can’t provide the service they need…
The thing with NFTs is that it’s not the art piece itself that you’re purchasing. You’re basically purchasing a digital receipt that SAYS YOU OWN the art piece, like the world’s most useless certificate of authenticity. The value comes not from the art but from the ownership OF said art. The problem comes with the fact that it’s online and digital, making it very easy to replicate (i.e. right click saving, screenshotting) This is bad for a trend that lives off of artificial scarcity. So not only is it environmentally destructive, but it’s basically pointless and a scam made for rich snobs to stroke poetic about. Also, it’s no wonder so many NFTs are stolen art when official ones like bored apes look like THIS! 🤮🤮🤮 EDIT: This got waaaaay more traction than I expected! Anyway, If you wanna own a peice of personalized art that actually supports artists and DOESNT use a country’s worth of electricity to make, consider commissioning an artist for something! (Mine are open hint hint)
Not to mention how many of the artists being brought in to create the art for these projects who end up getting ripped off. (Not to say there aren't artists who are successful with NFTs, but they're usually artists who created the NFTs or who got in on projects early in the crazy. I'm talking about the artists contracted to make art for the NFT pump and dumps)
Just wait until these people find out about animation Cel collecting You can actually physically own a piece of the actual Cowboy Bebop for only like 400$ which is a steal compared to how much people are asking for for NFTs (Note if you want like a big shot of like Faye or Spike or Ein you’re going to be getting more into the 1000$ + range)
As someone who has been in multiple fandoms which specialize in original and unique adopts, NFT to me means “Not for trade”. Or, characters that you own (again, unique designs and not assets) that are not for trade. But the more you know I suppose.
As far as I can, it's a pyramid scheme. The only people making any money are the people who sold first, and the longer it goes on the fewer buyers there are, and now everyone is just stuck holding onto NFTs they can't resell, so they all pretend they like owning the images, actually
I’ll give it this; the cartoon did something I’ve never seen any other piece of propaganda do before. When they actually mention NFTs and one of the characters actually asks about it, the character that seems to know something says “don’t worry about it. All you need to know is that this is worth a lot of money” I have never seen anything made for the sole purpose of promoting an idea dismiss said idea like that. ”Hey Bert what letter is this?” “Don;t worry about it Earnie. It’s just a symbol that makes grownups make sounds.” “Hey Crysta, are trees important?” “Eh whatever Zack”
This show is the embodiment of money > everything else... Also, we have gotten to the point where we are using non-tangible money to buy non-tangible objects... we are now in a videogame...
I feel like alongside NFTs just being a disgrace to artists who put their entire time into art for much much less, they also discourage any artists that think they might be successful as they see how some joke is able to make over a million and actual quality made animation doesn't make even half.
@@nadie516 I’ve actually read a comment on another vid that they actually like it when you screenshot or screen record. Because that way, it’s getting more popular and attracts people stupid enough to actually buy their NFT’s. They just pretend they’re mad so they can feed into the rage of the sane people. I honestly don’t pay them attention. Just so their corrupt business will suffer. These memes are just giving them popularity. Because for them, it’s: “Doesn’t matter if it’s infamy. Money is money.”
My favourite meme out of the whole NFT mess so far was a parody of that old 'you wouldn't steal a car' anti-piracy ad that said YOU WOULDN'T FUNGE A TOKEN
I was so confused by this cartoon. The "comedy" is... nonexistent. And not even from an "NFTs are stupid" angle, it's just... there are numerous beats in the show where I feel like I was supposed to laugh but there is literally no joke preceding it.
a lot of my artist friends on a pretty unpopular art site have had their art taken and sold as NFTs without their consent. it has been happening so much but since we're mostly minors we can't do shit about it. we just need to put watermarks on the art and hope nothing happens.
I don't know if this will help you all but since I've had my art resold as NFTs, I've started uploading my art as JPGs with deliberately lowered quality to help deter people from using them where they shouldn't. Can't say if its helped with theft for NFTs but I can say it'll hopefully help keep my art off of random tshirts. Also as long as you can prove you uploaded your art before the NFT was posted: certain sites like OpenSea will remove the NFT if you contact them about it. I didn't have to provide my name or age, just proof that its mine and I don't want it there. Just be polite and to the point.

NFTs piss me off in general, especially as an artist. Even just ignoring the blatant environmental damage and the scamming that goes into selling and trading them, the claims that they help artists isn’t even true. The people selling them don’t even care about the art let alone the artist themself. It’s all about just making money.

Luckily most artists I know are smart enough to not even speak well or even neutrally about them lol it’s always good to see people speak out about them in anyway. Also just so everyone knows for sure: it doesn’t help “decentralize” anything and sure as hell doesn’t help the art industry. It just makes it even worse than it already is.
The inventors came up with the idea to help artists but the tech-world opportunists and the cryporich pounced on it and turned it into the mess they are now. NFT bros cling onto to that fact to shut down people who are against NFTs while ignoring the issues to make it seem like NFTs are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I guess the saying "the path to hell is paved with good intentions" really applies here.
I had a feeling nfts and crypto would lead to such problems, if there is any hope for the future of the arts then something must be done about this incursion
I remember seeing people comment about how this is like the Simpsons. “It’s not popular now but it will be later” The difference between this and the Simpsons is that the Simpsons was written by somebody that knows how to make good satire. This was made by boring cryptobros that never shut up about how etherium is the future
The difference between this and the Simpsons is that the Simpsons had like, 10 or 12 good seasons behind it and debates about it going downhill are *because at one point, it was a great and influential show!* This has nothing going for it except the hubris of man.
I love how they boast about it being "the first NFT cartoon" like it's something to be impressed by. First of all, there's no such thing as an "NFT cartoon" because by definition, an NFT isn't a tangible thing. It makes a reference to a work but it isn't the work and gives you no right and no property over the work. People who sell NFTs like to use terms like "NFT art", "NFT game" or "NFT cartoon" to trick people who don't know any better into thinking they're buying a work, but they aren't, and that goes to show that NFTs are undeniably a scam considering the people producing and selling them are actively lying about what they're selling. It cannot be stressed enough: NFTs. ARE. NOTHING. Second, there's no technological process going into making an "NFT cartoon" because again, the cartoon _isn't_ an NFT. I repeat in case it's still not clear: the NFT is not the work and has no bearing on the work whatsoever. You can make NFTs of literally anything, because NFTs are nothing. You can just decide that something is an NFT of a work. Hell, you don't even need to _own_ the work to make an NFT of it, which is how countless artists are already being fucked. So it's literally just another cartoon, it's just that someone somewhere made an NFT that they decided authenticates it (but still doesn't make you own it). NFTs are the very illustration of everything wrong with modern economics: people getting rich off other people's work while they themselves produce nothing; selling hot air that has no purpose other than being resold, and enthusiastically destroying the environment in doing so because who cares if you die as long as you get to have the richest corpse? Meanwhile, the people who made the work you're getting rich off of do not see a single cent of the profits.
You just explained capitalism in your final paragraph. This isn’t a modern economics thing, it’s been going on for centuries. Not the nft’s, the part about people making lots of money without doing any work and the people who actually did the work don’t get a single cent of it.
@@Vivian_228 of course someone with a Ussr pfp would say this. Do you actually know how communism/socialism works? Have you actually taken an economics class and actually understand how it works? Not trying to fight but I’m generally curious
NFTs are basically just status symbols for idiots with more money than taste (as most "art" and non-essential consumer goods are) and this seems to have been an ideal example of the genre. It probably won't retain its supposed value, but if people are stupid enough to buy it, it is valuable to them. As for myself, I prefer to create my own art to suit my own taste irregardless of what other people like.
You are missing the point of NFTs. The art is irrelevant, what matters is their perceived value. It's all about speculation, like an unregulated stock market.
@@uruloki2758 that’s exactly what they were saying, though? It’s a status symbol, but so is a lot of expensive art; if you bought art for itself, you’d be choosing something based on how it looks, or how it looks in a room, not some numbers game
@@baumber1919 the first modern art artists from the beginning of the 20th century genuinely tried to create a new form of art . Honestly I think everything went down with the ready-made bs .
@@uruloki2758that"s basically what I was saying.The status associated with owning it is often what gives a piece of art its value, rather than the actual quality of the art..unless you're someone who actually appreciates art for its beauty alone, or who creates their own art for their own enjoyment. Some people want an actual, physical object took a certain amount of skill to create that might increase in value due to antiquity, whereas part of the appeal of NFTs is simply because they're new and cutting edge. The difference between traditional art and NFTs is sort of like the difference between listening to Bach and listening to K-Pop...both are considered music, but they appeal to different audiences, with different ideas as to what constitutes "art."
@@SvengelskaBlondie Do you realise the more CO2 you add the more heat earth retains from the sun throwing off earth natural climate and affecting the chaos system we call weather? You tried so hard to be IQ over 9000 and failed so hard
One of the most jarring things is that their structuring and framing of the shots are just... horrid. The composition is bad, you can see the white 'halo' (should be an aura of hell tbh) around the nft-cutout's faces when they speak or do anything, they're horrendously off-model when there's a shot that doesn't use a cropped nft picture, and it's important to mention the jarring difference in pixel quality between nfts. Because they used a rig-based animation system for this show, they had a chance to use vector art for the apes, even everyone else. (That's another thing, the art-style is inconsistent because you have the grungy apes, then the rather smooth humans, and the smoother humans, and then the gradient blingee apes.) Anyway, vector art would have at least allowed them cleaner lines no matter how zoomed in.
I had a dream about this show last night. there were """""""""villains""""""""" called the right-clickers and they were a group of animals who "stole" nfts. but really, they weren't villians lol
I can already imagine a scene in some parody of this where those characters in this horrible style talk about those villains, and then there is cut to well drawn anthros in realistic style talking how insignificant the NFTs are, and how horrible they actually look. "Isn't that right Mr. Fox?"
Nfts are hailed as a way for "artists to make money" when commissions are so much better, even shops. I spoke to a cryptotard and he basically told me "why would I support an artist I enjoy when I could buy an nft and make profit off that artists work?" Genuinely discord almost shat itself when people were cancelling nitro over them trying to get into nfts. Nfts have no purpose other than profiting off artists work. Some of them are so highly inflated it's disgusting. Its shown that nft bros throw cash back and forth to themselves to make their nft look more expensive.
It seemed so blatantly false when they started with that- either they didn't know, or thought artists wouldn't know. Perhaps backtracking a bit to say that it works better in some vague unspecified way. Really for most independent artists it's just an unnecessary solution to a problem they don't actually have. And some artists probably don't care anyway. The whole thing assumes every artist is just chasing the money- But I'd say even people who do it for a job had to have been inspired to do so by some amount of passion, at least initially, and are going to have too much self-respect. It's an irritating feeling watching what looks like bad liars trying to force something on people who they don't even care to understand. They act as if it's obvious why someone would want it, and come across as pushy salesmen that also praise themselves as some kind of benevolent rescuer of poor artists ("Where would they be without our help?") and then turn around and make it clear to them it's about the money. They can't even be bothered to hide that they have 2 faces. (And may even conflate them at times)

I’m an artist and I don’t have anything against NFT’s as a technology. They have a use, but as the kids say; “this ain’t it, fam.” Blame the scammers, because they’re the ones deterring legitimate innovators from coming into the space and coming up with novel uses for NFT’s. It’s always this way, humans come up with an awesome new technology and then the worst people in the world move in immediately and use the tech for the most horrific purposes imaginable. But I think maybe I’m arguing semantics here and you probably don’t have a problem with the technology itself and more so have a problem with how it’s being used. Crypto as a whole isn’t exactly great for the environment, but there are definitely bigger fish to fry if we want to actually help the environment.

You pay them, and they give you a receipt of purchase. They go to an unmarked supply closet in the back of the museum and post a handmade label saying "mona lisa currently owned by Gaming With Noah" so if anyone wants to know who owns it they have to find this specific closet in this hallway and look behind the right brooms.
You ask "can I take the mona lisa home now?" and they say "god no, are you stupid? You only bought the receipt saying you own it, you didn't buy the actual mona lisa, you can't actually take the real mona lisa" and then he gives you a print of the mona lisa from the gift shop.
Also, the person you paid has never at any point in time owned the mona lisa.

Basically it's people wanting to claim ownership of something, so that if you go look in the huge ethereum network (which is basically where they register all those who bought or sold something with their own type of money called Ether, which is what they like to call cryptocurrency cause it's literally a currency that only exists online), you'll find "this person owns this thing", as in its official and they have it, its theirs. But that's it, people can still literally take screenshots of it if they want to use it, cause you can't stop them, it's the internet. And most of the time it's just something rich people like to do to show off how they possess "valuable and costly" things. When the general public really doesn't care. It's a big cash grab honestly, it's like those very expensive but trashy pieces of art some artists like to call "art" and sell for millions to the richest, exactly like that
Josh Strife Hayes did a video on NFTs and it really helped me understand them. Highly recommend it!
Yeah, I got it repeated several times, and I still don’t 100% understand it
I can’t get over how the creator said that this show is a masterpiece
Delusional. All of them
More like a masterpiece of shit

And yet your shit was probably much better than lions showing their tongue and ape wearing military helmet.

@@Dave01Rhodes maybe to drive home how stupid it is?
They say this "supports" artists when it is easy as hell to commission them AND completely customizable! NFT's hurts artists more than any amount of piracy.
how does investment and stock trading hurt artists. these guys arent gonna commission art, they're crypto ppl not furries or whatever lol.
While I agree that I think those people wouldn't even have commissioned art in the first place so it doesn't hurt to lose them, they are trying to get other people on board who don't know any better.
Not to mention that it's way more affordable both for commissioners and artists to just fucking pay them directly???????? Instead of bullshit cryptocurrency that no normal human being actually can have access to????
You're saving a mountain if you choose to commission an artist over buying an NFT if you compare their prices. Not only that, but you're also benefiting a real human being and not someone who relies on randomly generated images & running a money scheme...
All that about "NTF helps to artists" is a big smelly BS, just an excuse to give artificial value to their crypto, they are using artists as "Troy Horse" but the intention to really help artists is just BS.
Let's be honest, old stick figure animations on Newgrounds were the best animations.

Anyone remember "Animator vs Animation"? That series was fire.
When I was in University for the fine arts one of my fav professors told the class first day. "if you want to make it in the art world there is only one thing you need to do, and the quality or statements of your work has nothing to do with it. The only thing you have to do is convince the rich bastards of the world that your artwork will make them more prestigious. The better and more unique your brown nosing to the rich, the more money you'll make." To me, that's why NFTs are becoming so overpriced, and the controversy seems to just add to it and the block chain is the gimmick. It's like the art actions but for those who only live on the internet.
The only things that these rich fat bastards wants are a expensive rare item with their name on it. This frustrates me so bad, cuz this reminds of a irl story i had. I'm a musician and sometimes when i need a little cash i would grab my guitar, head out to the center of the city and start playin like crazy and at the end of the day, i would sit in a bench and start drinking coffee or something and start watching an old man painting something on the street... It was fantastic, the old man used all kinds of techniques, from spray cans, to pencils and even rags with paint on it... It was so beautiful to see, the experience of the old man, his passion and absolute genius of how he distorted reality in a piece of paper. I bought that painting and it's one of my most valuable things i have, i can still touch it and feel in the paint the passion of that fellow old man. Honestly, this is what i most fear i hate about nfts... The chance of these nfts getting available for everyone and start forgetting about true art. Nfts are the most souless business bs ever created and i hate it so much
It's anywhere the same. The product doesn't matter as much as your charisma to sell your products.
Apparently, a lot of people don't buy NFT for the art but for it to be 'flipped' and make a profit out of it when the price of certain NFTs go up. So there's that. Will the bubble burst? I'm not saying I'm hoping for it but

One thing I noticed in the "show" (if you can even call it that): there's literally a picture of that "modern art piece" of a banana taped to a wall hidden as an easter egg in the first episode.
I just found that funny because it's so appropriate. Modern art and the NFTs craze both come down to "rich people buying low-effort low-quality "artpieces" just to show off".
That actually reminds me, theres actually a lot more to Jackson pollocks work than money laundering. Here’s the link.
th-cam.com/video/aArkZqYC99c/w-d-xo.html
Nah it's now more or less money laundering and tax write offs
If I was rich and could use a literal banana and a school project like cartoon to not pay taxes I would certainly do it
Ech
It’s so pretentious and shows the massive disconnect between the haves and have nots in the world. No normal human being would ever consider a banana duct taped to a wall to be legitimate art. But the pretentious wealthy will monologue about it’s “artistic qualities” in an attempt to justify it’s inclusion in high end collections and explain it’s ridiculous price. Much like how they attempt to do the same with their own wealth, when it was extracted from the surplus value generated by their wage slaves. Just another blatant example of the Emperor’s New Clothes.
So, i remember sending some drawings i made to my dad to print them out because of school. When he saw them he was really happy and proud; however theres this thing i do in my pieces on where i put the title/name on the drawing itself (mainly, for aesthetics and i enjoy it) and he saw i liked doing this he was like:
*"you should remove them, its not good as a nft if theres letters on it."*
Although heres the thing: i *never* even told him i wanted to sell my art this way.
and then he goes on explaining on how this is a good thing and he wants to sell them to help our family shtick.
Like yeah, i want to help and sell my art, but not as an *nft.*

I would gladly troll them by pretending to be a Nazi. That easily gets you banned from every server. Nfts are pure cringe and will never be art
I’m absolutely disgusted by these. Not just from the style, but also from the greed these people have. These aren’t artists, these are inexperienced assholes who think art is “easy” and use the one thing they probably drew by following a fucking tutorial to scam people.
I’ve been drawing since I was in literal diapers and this makes me sad. This isn’t the culture we as artists have tried to keep, this isn’t what art is. As I see it, art is supposed to be used as a way to make imagination a reality.
I really hope NFT’s die off or become more friendly.
(Note: I don’t have any problems with following tutorials, hell, I do still, but it seriously looks directly copied off something or just straight up traced)
Feels like an extension of that icky commercial feel in art. Where the quality is chipped away in favor of marketability. Artists that put passion into it are essentially being told to move over and let these shallow works be considered the "true" purpose and form of art. It reeks of "get rich quick" and seems to be a bait to get people to either scramble to buy, or scramble to slap something together and hope someone else is dumb enough to buy it, without caring about the art it's self. I think the "value" of art isn't everything- especially when it's clearly being manipulated. Someone spending a few minutes tracing over a template and recoloring it isn't inherently superior than work that strives to connect with the audience just because someone has money to throw at it.
Lumunei i saw a twitter post once where someone took a picture of red ape family to make a shirt and one of the creators went balistic and was like ``This is my property!!!! I'm gonna sue the hell out of you, enjoy your comfortable lifestyle while you still can i'm going to ruin you!!!
I haven't been on social media for most of this year so I didn't know how mainstream NFT's had gotten. I thought they were pretty stupid when I first found out about them, but it was cool I saw some great digital artists finally starting to get paid for their work through NFTs. Now it just seems like it has become people who don't give a shit about art pumping out what they can for other rich assholes to buy as a status symbol. I definitely feel like this is a fad that will pass but tf do I know lol.

@@yomilemondragon1721 Except NFT art isn't being sold as art; it's being sold as stocks. High price art is used by rich people as a way to store money long term without it being taxed. The goal with buying art is to sell it at about the same or slightly higher price decades from buying it. The (stated) goal with NFTs is to double your money in a year or less. The problem is in order to sell your NFT for twice as much you have to convince someone else that they can sell it for even more. Eventually, there's no more suckers left to buy. The more money involved, the faster you reach the bottom of the pyramid and no one wants to be the one stuck with the monkey.
The funny thing about these “artists” selling their art as NFTs is that 9 times out of 10, they’re not even selling the art. They’re basically selling the receipts for the art.

Further proof as to why NFTs were a horrible idea and why they should be stopped
The thing with NFTs is that it’s not the art piece itself that you’re purchasing. You’re basically purchasing a digital receipt that SAYS YOU OWN the art piece, like the world’s most useless certificate of authenticity. The value comes not from the art but from the ownership OF said art. The problem comes with the fact that it’s online and digital, making it very easy to replicate (i.e. right click saving, screenshotting) This is bad for a trend that lives off of artificial scarcity. So not only is it environmentally destructive, but it’s basically pointless and a scam made for rich snobs to stroke poetic about. Also, it’s no wonder so many NFTs are stolen art when official ones like bored apes look like THIS! 🤮🤮🤮
EDIT: This got waaaaay more traction than I expected! Anyway, If you wanna own a peice of personalized art that actually supports artists and DOESNT use a country’s worth of electricity to make, consider commissioning an artist for something! (Mine are open hint hint)
Like saying you own a particular house, but all you really "own" are the turn-by-turn directions TO the house.
It's basically buying groceries at the market and then going home with just the reciept.......
Not to mention how many of the artists being brought in to create the art for these projects who end up getting ripped off.
(Not to say there aren't artists who are successful with NFTs, but they're usually artists who created the NFTs or who got in on projects early in the crazy. I'm talking about the artists contracted to make art for the NFT pump and dumps)
It's not even enforceable ownership

As someone who has been in multiple fandoms which specialize in original and unique adopts, NFT to me means “Not for trade”. Or, characters that you own (again, unique designs and not assets) that are not for trade. But the more you know I suppose.

a lot of my artist friends on a pretty unpopular art site have had their art taken and sold as NFTs without their consent. it has been happening so much but since we're mostly minors we can't do shit about it. we just need to put watermarks on the art and hope nothing happens.
I don't know if this will help you all but since I've had my art resold as NFTs, I've started uploading my art as JPGs with deliberately lowered quality to help deter people from using them where they shouldn't. Can't say if its helped with theft for NFTs but I can say it'll hopefully help keep my art off of random tshirts.
Also as long as you can prove you uploaded your art before the NFT was posted: certain sites like OpenSea will remove the NFT if you contact them about it. I didn't have to provide my name or age, just proof that its mine and I don't want it there. Just be polite and to the point.

The people selling them don’t even care about the art let alone the artist themself. It’s all about just making money. It’s just really sad because I’ve seen a few artists I like start trying to sell them and I just know they’re either going to get hurt or swept up into the whole thing and their art will likely suffer. Luckily most artists I know are smart enough to not even speak well or even neutrally about them lol it’s always good to see people speak out about them in anyway.
Also just so everyone knows for sure: it doesn’t help “decentralize” anything and sure as hell doesn’t help the art industry. It just makes it even worse than it already is.
The inventors came up with the idea to help artists but the tech-world opportunists and the cryporich pounced on it and turned it into the mess they are now. NFT bros cling onto to that fact to shut down people who are against NFTs while ignoring the issues to make it seem like NFTs are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
I guess the saying "the path to hell is paved with good intentions" really applies here.
i'm sorry, but what NFT's can do to environment??
(i'm just asking, don't hate me pls)

@@spnnofficialchannel1285 was wondering about that one, thanks for explaining
I had a feeling nfts and crypto would lead to such problems, if there is any hope for the future of the arts then something must be done about this incursion
I remember seeing people comment about how this is like the Simpsons. “It’s not popular now but it will be later”
The difference between this and the Simpsons is that the Simpsons was written by somebody that knows how to make good satire.
This was made by boring cryptobros that never shut up about how etherium is the future
fucking red apes have nothing on the fucking yellow simpsons…
Simpsons is 100000000000000000x better than this stupid nft cartoon lol
Watch and see the Simpsons satirize the Red Ape Family in a future episode.
@Ferny Panda Lisa: ~ visible contempt ~
The difference between this and the Simpsons is that the Simpsons had like, 10 or 12 good seasons behind it and debates about it going downhill are *because at one point, it was a great and influential show!*
This has nothing going for it except the hubris of man.
I've been on art trade/sell stuff and we use NFT as "not for trade" and so when these got made I was so confused 💀💀
I love how they boast about it being "the first NFT cartoon" like it's something to be impressed by. First of all, there's no such thing as an "NFT cartoon" because by definition, an NFT isn't a tangible thing. It makes a reference to a work but it isn't the work and gives you no right and no property over the work. People who sell NFTs like to use terms like "NFT art", "NFT game" or "NFT cartoon" to trick people who don't know any better into thinking they're buying a work, but they aren't, and that goes to show that NFTs are undeniably a scam considering the people producing and selling them are actively lying about what they're selling. It cannot be stressed enough: NFTs. ARE. NOTHING.
Second, there's no technological process going into making an "NFT cartoon" because again, the cartoon _isn't_ an NFT. I repeat in case it's still not clear: the NFT is not the work and has no bearing on the work whatsoever. You can make NFTs of literally anything, because NFTs are nothing. You can just decide that something is an NFT of a work. Hell, you don't even need to _own_ the work to make an NFT of it, which is how countless artists are already being fucked. So it's literally just another cartoon, it's just that someone somewhere made an NFT that they decided authenticates it (but still doesn't make you own it).
NFTs are the very illustration of everything wrong with modern economics: people getting rich off other people's work while they themselves produce nothing; selling hot air that has no purpose other than being resold, and enthusiastically destroying the environment in doing so because who cares if you die as long as you get to have the richest corpse? Meanwhile, the people who made the work you're getting rich off of do not see a single cent of the profits.
You just explained capitalism in your final paragraph. This isn’t a modern economics thing, it’s been going on for centuries. Not the nft’s, the part about people making lots of money without doing any work and the people who actually did the work don’t get a single cent of it.

NFTs are basically just status symbols for idiots with more money than taste (as most "art" and non-essential consumer goods are) and this seems to have been an ideal example of the genre. It probably won't retain its supposed value, but if people are stupid enough to buy it, it is valuable to them. As for myself, I prefer to create my own art to suit my own taste irregardless of what other people like.
You are missing the point of NFTs. The art is irrelevant, what matters is their perceived value. It's all about speculation, like an unregulated stock market.
@@uruloki2758 that’s exactly what they were saying, though? It’s a status symbol, but so is a lot of expensive art; if you bought art for itself, you’d be choosing something based on how it looks, or how it looks in a room, not some numbers game
Basically the digital version of modern art let’s be honest
@@baumber1919 the first modern art artists from the beginning of the 20th century genuinely tried to create a new form of art . Honestly I think everything went down with the ready-made bs .
@@uruloki2758that"s basically what I was saying.The status associated with owning it is often what gives a piece of art its value, rather than the actual quality of the art..unless you're someone who actually appreciates art for its beauty alone, or who creates their own art for their own enjoyment. Some people want an actual, physical object took a certain amount of skill to create that might increase in value due to antiquity, whereas part of the appeal of NFTs is simply because they're new and cutting edge. The difference between traditional art and NFTs is sort of like the difference between listening to Bach and listening to K-Pop...both are considered music, but they appeal to different audiences, with different ideas as to what constitutes "art."
Scams and money laundering. The only two reasons NFTs exist.

@JACKSEPTICEYE'S DAD DESERVED IT LMFAO lol I spotted a lost fatherless child.
One of the most jarring things is that their structuring and framing of the shots are just... horrid. The composition is bad, you can see the white 'halo' (should be an aura of hell tbh) around the nft-cutout's faces when they speak or do anything, they're horrendously off-model when there's a shot that doesn't use a cropped nft picture, and it's important to mention the jarring difference in pixel quality between nfts. Because they used a rig-based animation system for this show, they had a chance to use vector art for the apes, even everyone else. (That's another thing, the art-style is inconsistent because you have the grungy apes, then the rather smooth humans, and the smoother humans, and then the gradient blingee apes.) Anyway, vector art would have at least allowed them cleaner lines no matter how zoomed in.
unfortunately, if NFTs make no sense to you, that means you understand them perfectly
Underrated comment
I had a dream about this show last night. there were """""""""villains""""""""" called the right-clickers and they were a group of animals who "stole" nfts. but really, they weren't villians lol
I can already imagine a scene in some parody of this where those characters in this horrible style talk about those villains, and then there is cut to well drawn anthros in realistic style talking how insignificant the NFTs are, and how horrible they actually look.
"Isn't that right Mr. Fox?"
They are honorable people and I respect those villains. Sometimes the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good

Nfts are hailed as a way for "artists to make money" when commissions are so much better, even shops. I spoke to a cryptotard and he basically told me "why would I support an artist I enjoy when I could buy an nft and make profit off that artists work?" Genuinely discord almost shat itself when people were cancelling nitro over them trying to get into nfts. Nfts have no purpose other than profiting off artists work. Some of them are so highly inflated it's disgusting. Its shown that nft bros throw cash back and forth to themselves to make their nft look more expensive.
If an NFT is sold at 1 dollar it is already inflated
It seemed so blatantly false when they started with that- either they didn't know, or thought artists wouldn't know. Perhaps backtracking a bit to say that it works better in some vague unspecified way. Really for most independent artists it's just an unnecessary solution to a problem they don't actually have. And some artists probably don't care anyway. The whole thing assumes every artist is just chasing the money- But I'd say even people who do it for a job had to have been inspired to do so by some amount of passion, at least initially, and are going to have too much self-respect. It's an irritating feeling watching what looks like bad liars trying to force something on people who they don't even care to understand. They act as if it's obvious why someone would want it, and come across as pushy salesmen that also praise themselves as some kind of benevolent rescuer of poor artists ("Where would they be without our help?") and then turn around and make it clear to them it's about the money. They can't even be bothered to hide that they have 2 faces. (And may even conflate them at times)
