I don't get the hate towards admins and devs. If people are still stupid enough to buy a NFT, I say let them. It's not harming anybody.

Reddit could have easily adopted a simpler database structure with premium avatars with virtually zero environmental impact, but they instead went down the blockchain path harming the entire planet in the process.
