Pedantic reminder that paying for an NFT does not in fact get you a unique jpg; it merely gets you a digital receipt for a jpg anyone else can copy and download for free.

I’m just waiting on Beanie Baby NFTs so this bullshit can go full circle.
So DC is into money laundering now?

So literally anyone in upper management? Gaming companies and other businesses have been foaming at the mouth to get into the siren’s call of easy NFT money until their customers revolted and protested against the bullshit.
This is your very last chance to send me a dollar. So don’t miss out! (Because soon it’ll be your very last chance to send me a buck and a half)

It’s telling that DC Comics has yet to say anything about this publicly on their Twitter account. That’s certainly because of the massive negative reactions they got last time they wrote about NFTs in October
This seems to be the new strategy for these companies now, whenever they launch an NFT project, they tend to do it on the low-key, or partner up with someone else (like an NFT marketplace) and let that other company do all of the promotion. Saw that with the Matrix NFTs for instance, which were never tweeted about from the actual Matrix Warner Bros account. They just let other accounts take all the heat.
