Of course, but I don't understand the issue here. Everyone involved knows that, and buyers don't care. What's the problem?

The problem is that supposedly knowledgeable people hype the concept as something new and clever, they claim it solves a real problem.

I don’t feel sorry at all for the clown that paid 69 mill for the url to a jpg, I just think the hype is stupid. Not that we can be sure the buyer was real and distinct from the seller.
