I know people who buy that stuff, and it's either:

* because they have a lot of coins, and they don't care what they're spending it on. For example, cryptokitties were fun

* they think they can make money out of that, because there's some hype

* they are promoting their own NFT platform with fake purchases

Another group is artists who have already made some money selling NFTs and now feel the need to support other artists.
