I don't think that's such a great signal: people were viciously attacking NFTs.

NFTs are still being used. Along with a lot of the crypto ecosystem. In fact we're increasingly finding legitimate use cases for it.

Claiming that NFTs are still being used is a ridiculous misrepresentation of the facts.

Look at this. I think people need to realize that it's the same kind of folks migrating from gold rush to gold rush. If it's complete bullshit or somewhat useful doesn't really matter to them.

There is a subset of human beings so absurdly and brokenly conspiratorial that "is attacked" is something they consider the strongest possible signal.

It's insane.
