If an experience can't pass a double blind test, I don't think it's serious. People don't want to just support an artist. If they did, they'd fund them on Patreon or what have you. What they want to do is act like its about supporting an artist when in reality it's also about them playing the game of supporting an artist before they get popular so they can make an income off of identifying talent before it arises.

This is a well worn path and a lot of actors engage in it, but it isn't really about altruism. It's about return. The difference between holding a real Mona Lisa and holding a forgery is that you know for certain that every molecule of light reflects as it did. That the very materials used by the artist are still there. This is not the case with NFTs.
