> NFTs are selling a much more personal connection with the artist. Buying merchandise or subscribing to patreon is much more impersonal.
In what way? A ton of artists I know on Patreon are polling their contributors to get feedback, releasing early content to them, and releasing exclusive behind-the-scenes info or life updates.
What about an NFT provides more personal connection than ongoing support and communication with the artist?

And if Patreon isn't enough of a connection to your favorite artists, you can always directly commission them, which will give you a genuinely unique piece of artwork instead of just a serial number, designed in direct cooperation with the artist, that no one else owns, and that is uniquely tied to you in a fundamental way that can't be faked.
What about an NFT provides more personal connection than having direct creative input and a personal hand in the creation of a piece of artwork?
