"virtual worlds needs virtual content created at virtually zero cost, fully customizable to the individual"

That seems like the polar opposite of the NFT metaverse vision, where artificial scarcity encourages people to pay for speculative assets.

I think the 2 original goals of NFTs was to provide a way for people to continue to own content after finishing a game (whether game dies or a person just naturally leaves its) and somehow transfer that content to another game. The other was just to be able to play games directly on blockchain that are comparable to the small mobile games people play now.

Sadly the problem with anything related to money is it attracts StockBros whose primary goal is to steal/take money from the uninformed.

In a post scarcity world, all value/scarcity is artificial.
