Manufactured scarcity has never been as blatant as NFTs imo. So many companies openly bragging about how they've finally figured out how to restrict digital products, as if that's a good thing. If Marx weren't already dead, reading tweets from cryptobros surely would've killed him.

It did make the issues of landowners very clear to a lot of people I think when the land to be owned was made up. Not really much different than the real world, but real world land isn't made up and also people need it to survive.

NFTs were a horrible and stupid thing, but I think it did make clear to people who didn't realize it before how bad capitalism is.

Yeah all the talking points irl landlords use to justify their existence fall apart spectacularly when applied to digital land. It makes it obvious how they're parasites plain and simple.
