BEWARE of fake EEVblog NFT's
Nusa:
So what's the word used for a bunch of top youtubers? Flock, herd, horde, swarm, etc...
My idea would be a stream of youtubers.

The modern word would be 'Influencers'. Although cow's rears would also be applicable in many (not all, but many nevertheless) cases.

Many of us reported it.
It's interesting that for being a decentralized network one big player has still control over what that "creator made".
(on a tangent, I saw the B52s live and doubt that any of my peers would like to know or understand it)

Well, this is just the general confusion about what NFTs are.
You see, most NFTs sold today is not the underlying picture. It is also not the artwork, or even the ownership of the artwork.
Most NFTs that are sold today is just a link to some picture, that is hosted on some server. The image is not even stored on the blockchain. And it happens often times, that the picture gets changed, after selling the NFT (for example to a poop emoji).
There are a few NFTs that are legit stored on a blockchain, but those are simplistic, often times then need some third party tool to actually generate the picture for it. And IMHO the artistic value of these generated "yellow monkey holding a blue banana with a hat" NFTs is zero.

Opensea (or any other) market place only has control over what is listed on that market place. For example: Ebay may choose to remove a listing of an item but that doesn't mean the item can't be sold at all.

Most of the NFTs that are listed are not even minted.
Minting this EEVBlog NFT would cost anywhere around 150 USD. And it would take a ton of CO2 production and energy waste to do it. ETH is ridiculous, the sooner everyone goes to more modern networks the better.

unlike tulips though they cause a great deal of environment damage both from energy waste and fast hardware turnover

Frankly, in general, this is a silly comment. It would be same as saying brand bames and trademarks are just digital bullshit. In case you do not know, look up how much CocaCola brand name cost.

silliness is in the eye of the beholder ;D
I never judge or buy anything by the brand name and nowadays lot of brands have changed owner, e.g. Philips now is Chinese, so brand names are even less indicative of the quality of a product then they used to be (sometimes).

--- End quote ---
science magazines and web sites have been writing about that subject since years.
You might be surprised by the fact that there are lot of things you ignore (or I do ignore as well) but are anyway real ::)
Just google for «environmental impact of cryptocurrencies»

--- End quote ---
That's what is wrong. People who are obsessed by ownership. To be or to own that's the question. :)
While I really enjoy listening to music, I will never enjoy owning something that will not serve any real purpose or even owning much more than other people.
