Troy Baker partnering with Voiceverse NFT (up: backs out, threadmark)

I knew Troy Baker voiced a lot of things, but I didn't know he would voice such a grave disappointment.
Creation of artificial scarcity. It's a damn scam. The blockchain on the other hand can be useful if for example it is used to record ownership of a physical product or a contract that you sign with a business. But NFTs are inherently a scam that serve no purpose.
So instead of right clicking and downloading jpegs I'll just now screen record audio NFTs and redistribute them online?
They provide literally no value. It's a bunch of nerds and easily-duped idiots killing the environment in an attempt to convince people that things that don't have value actually have value. It's a gold rush without any actual gold.
(The bit about the game not being canon isn't from the website. They just have that header that says "the lore" to mark where their fiction dump starts.)
Why can't I just fucking talk in the metaverse.
Also that 'lore' sounds like something from Channel 5 News.
They did an episode on it pretty recently, but it just so happens that Troy wasn't on that week.
I sure see you in every NFT thread saying the same thing, but never why NFTs are good and what kind of unique benefit that can't be replicated any other way but using them they bring
Are they? Show me a single NFT that has been resold several times that people are enjoying and getting value out of, and not someone pumping it, and dumping on some dupe left holding the bag
Or show me an actual legitimate way it's been used.
Pogs were once here to stay.
They do not do anything to prevent art theft. They do not have cross compatibility between exchanges, and based off all current roadmaps from the big players, there's no indication they ever will. They are wholly misrepresented to people making purchases of them since it is never made clear they are not actually buying the original asset, just a receipt to a URL to an instance of the hosted asset (with no guarantees the asset will remain hosted.)
NFTs do not provide any service or solutions better than existing technology today. They are a solution seeking a problem.
Why does this read like the sales pitch for a cult? You could tell me this was taken from the Scientology website and I'd believe you.

she replied in the comments
"Hello, new commenters. I want to note that we did not pick the topic of this episode before recording (which should be pretty clear if you see how it comes up). Troy had no way of knowing we'd talk about NFTs when he skipped this week. Bless anyone who thought this show was that organized, lol."
it's literally selling you a star/planet scam all over again, but this time comes with the bonus fact of destroying the planet in the meantime.
If you want to support artists, buy something they made: print, coaster, yada yada.
If your fav artist promotes NFTs, dump them.

[ETA: In the time it took me to type this on my phone, the below was mentioned in the comments above! Beaten like a bought NFT.
ETA2: Tara Strong, too?! noooo]
Oh, wow. Okay. God no. Lawd no.
The next episode of Play Watch, Listen will be reaaaally interesting. I just realized I hadn't finished PWL's recent NFT discussion episode, and had forgotten Baker wasn't available for the episode. (Link for anyone who's interested.) I definitely remember that Mike Bithell loathes them, and from what I remember, Alanah Pearce wasn't a fan either, either. Austin Wintory might have been more for them, or at the least, in delving into the topic. Haven't finished the episode, though, and don't want to paraphrase poorly and share incorrect info.
Baker vs. Bithell re: NFTs. It'll be interesting.
Baker's a funny one -- talented actor, very inquisitive, simultaneously very self aware and yet other times very very not because you get firm proclamations of 'I am a scientist' because he does casual science experiments at home with his kid. (...that certainly was an odd prolonged discussion point on PWL as the other three pushed back on both that proclamation and definition.) To Baker's credit, he always seems to be looking for the ultimate, purest form of creativity, and maybe thinks NFTs are the next evolution in this. (It ain't.) I hope he gets more understanding and contexts re: NFTs, 'cause this is a whole pile of noooope.

Indeed, I didn't mean to imply he knew the topic and avoided it. As a weekly watcher, I know the episodes rarely stick to some pre-planned idea, and just sort of end up where they do organically.
Why don't you explain an actual beneficial use case instead of continuously coming into this threads, saying "lol NFTs are good" and leaving the moment you get called on it.
Actually follow through and provide us with the divine knowledge to understand what purpose NFTs are actually serving as a positive.
Y'all can look through my post history for NFT posts, cannot be bothered to repeat the same arguments for the umpteenth time, while getting roasted by several angry posters. So many quote alerts 🤣
Nah... You can have limited, or infinite items as an NFT.
"NFTs destroy the environment"
Nah... There are proof of stake alternatives to Ethereum.
"It's a ponzi"
How? In fact don't bother....
They are not inherently bad, that at least, is factual. Trying to dispute that just shows how pointless the arguement gets in here.
Yeah definitely. Just didn't want to see her argue in favor of them or say that it's not a big deal so at that point I stopped listening. Glad to hear from others that listened to it all say that she's against them.
Jesus this is all so pathetic. All this just to scam people out of money
(The bit about the game not being canon isn't from the website. They just have that header that says "the lore" to mark where their fiction dump starts.)
NFTs are and have always been inherently bad because administering them and creating them has never had any value outside of a destructive wealth scheme. Don't be a fool
User Banned (3 days): Hostility
I'll eat the ban. Fuck off. This same fucking routine each and every time. You know why you're doing this, you know you haven't actually provided any sort of answer, you know the mods will never touch you because you keep it "civil".
Just fuck off with this. Fuck off.
Cryptography researcher (creator of Signal) breaks down NFTs and web3 and how they won't deliver on promises of decentralization
https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html Just going to copy past some select bits here instead of using quote blocks to summarize. Read the full thing at the link. TLDR is that due to how NFTs are useless alone and they need another centralized platform to access the content...

Why talk when you can pay out of your ass to get someone famous to do it for you through a machine?
They use several time more power than standard transactions and solve no problems, only introduce new ones. They are inherently bad.
Why are all crypto bros so fervent with their defense for their scams?
Or when you can pay for an AI that's been designed to SOUND like someone famous to speak in your place, like some kind of weird digital corpse puppetry?
There's the bait ...
Wait for it ...
Ah, there's the trolling.
I hate this because it's literally not true. Like you actually have no idea what you're talking about. What "good" uses of nfts can there possibly be when their application is used to create "digital scarcity"- and badly, at that?
That was not a comparison meant to be positive. Alanah isn't the type of person to post "fuck NFT's" or "fuck microtransaction" with passion, but that doesn't mean she's a supporter, very much the opposite. But there's also a cynical side to her position of realizing that even if the industry is adopting something shitty, there comes a point you can't really do anything about it outside of hoping it backfires.
Is there still room on the hate train? Because yeah, I hate this.
Anyone shilling for NFTs that doesn't source actual reasons for them to exist it's either a fool or a troll.

I did. Its a whole lot of you saying "NFTs are not bad", calling other ignorants for complaining about it and coatriding someone who used the adult and sex industry need for alternative payment methods as the good application for NFTs and then when people started challenging him started getting defensive and mentioning personal issues to fish for some bans. I scrolled several pages and haven't seen once you citing one positive way that NFTs can be used that can't be replicated in other, less environmental damaging, pyramid scheme prone ways. If you did, this is an easy crow for you to feed me, just go there, copy, paste it and make me look like a clown. I'll take any L's if they actually exist.
