NFT was the worst "tech" crap I have ever even heard about, like pure 100% total full scam. Kind of impressed that anyone could be so stupid they'd fall for it.
The technology is not a scam. The tech was used to make scam products.
NFTs can be useful as tickets, vouchers, certificates of authenticity, proof of ownership of something that is actually real (not a jpeg), etc.
NFT's are a scam. Blockchain less so but still has no use.
NFTs were nothing but an URL saved in a decentralized database, linking to a centralized server.
That implementation of NFTs was a total scam, yes. There are some cool potential applications for NFTs ... but mostly it was a solution looking for a problem. Even situations where it could be useful - like tracking ownership of things like concert tickets - weren't going to fly, because the companies don't want to relinquish control of the second-hand marketplace. They don't get their cut that way.
