Instagram Is Disabling Its NFT Features

Most artists using NFTs for revenue are not using IG, so are unaffected by this news.

This is dead in the water in any app, anyways. Apple charges 30% fee on all in-app NFT sales, and on top of that Apple ToS prohibits any “functional” use of NFT tech in their apps. [1]

Hooray for tech monopolies prohibiting the use of open source payment protocols and continuing to force a ridiculous rent on users and developers? Typical HN view, at least.

Thanks for nipping scams in the bud, and thanks for crushing Flash, Apple!
