I know. It's a nightmare. Several people I used to admire in the space have succumbed to the NFT virus. All they do now is shill for their latest 'drops'.

The demo scene this is not anymore. It used to be about fun, experimentation and showing off mad coding (and lately ml) skills. Now it's a pyramid scheme. I'm unsubscribing.

Or maybe I'm just getting old

Note that a number of the artists providing the prompts here are doing NFTs (and great ones too).

I've got no objection to artists doing NFTs. I just want places I can engage with their work and not have a constant reminder that it's a commercial transaction. It's just off putting when every single tweet about generative art is accompanyed by a loud sales pitch. It's like turning a gallery into a street market.
