I've made an NFT project closely related to What3words - I've been giving away a few to friends for free but exactly ZERO people have actually bought one so far!

You're surprised no one has bought something that is imaginary and has zero value?

It's seems like it's roughly the equivalent of paying to name a star. Only there's at least a real star out there. Also this statement is kind of weird:

If you've been involved with the NFT community you will know that NFTs are not about money. They are about love.
