Am I the only one who doesn’t get the NFT art craze?

Am I the only one who doesn’t get the NFT art craze?

Ok ok… I understand the buying and selling of items in games because well… they have a purpose. You can use them to enhance your gaming experience…

I understand music.. I buy an album and then forever own it. If you wipe your hard drive you can recover it without having to buy it again..

I don't understand why on earth people pay huge money for gifs and jpgs. What do you do with it? Set it as your wallpaper?

I'm being a bit facetious, I understand the concept of collectables but I don't see how it translates into digital form. If I buy a Rembrandt there's that knowledge its the exact canvas he worked on.. the texture, wear and tear, the history etc. In the digital world, the original has all the same properties as a replica. Why is one more special than the other?

Am I the only one?
