What? You email a gallery and they reply with a price and you pay them and your art is shipped to you.

NFT people act like art is some unattainable mythical artifact that their JPEGs have somehow liberated.

You’re literally ignoring half of what I said.

Digital art couldn’t be “shipped” to anyone. Having a gallery means you have to be featured in one in the first place - ie gatekeepers. Not permissionless.

You have to be not working in the arts to think like this. NFTs were a revolution for digital artists.

Ah, I did skim over the “digital” part.
