Reddit is going to try selling NFTs that posters can use in their profile pictures. The blockchain-backed Collectible Avatars give purchasers customizable art to use on or off of Reddit and add a “glow” to their comment profiles.
Compared to other social networking sites, Reddit has taken a slow and limited approach to features that carry a stain of self-promotion or branding. Even a decision to add simple profile pages that users could fill with their own posts faced criticism. Browsing the site, you’re more likely to see posters using variations of the site’s mascot, Snoo, in their profile picture than the selfies that dominate Twitter or Facebook.
There’s also a lot of discussion about the massive electricity use and environmental impacts of NFTs. If you still have questions, you can read through our NFT FAQ. --- NFTs are already beyond controversial in many communities, with backlash to the idea of additional DRM, how they play into the greater fool theory described by Bill Gates, and what blockchain energy use means for the environment.
