View submission: Introducing Collectible Avatars
Okay, but...
Collectible Avatars are on the blockchain
Having Collectible Avatars on the blockchain gives you - the purchaser - ownership over your Avatar, no matter where you want to take it, on or off Reddit.
These Avatars are limited edition, meaning a set number of each creator’s Collectible Avatars are available for purchase.
How are avatars not NFTs?

They are, just even Reddit is ashamed and embarrassed to call them that.

Because NFTs are not avatars.
Imagine, hypothetically, if the avatars are not stored as **NFTs** on a blockchain and instead are stored as **Files** on an FTP server.
Your quoted 3 sentences would instead be:
Collectible Avatars are on the FTP server.
Having Collectible Avatars on the FTP server gives you - ownership over your Avatar, no matter where you want to take it, on or off Reddit.
These Avatars are limited edition, meaning a set number of each creator's Collectible Avatars are available for purchase.
These sentences still make perfect sense.
Now replace the word "**Avatars**" with "**Files**" and see how confusing it becomes:
Collectible Files are on the FTP server.
Having Collectible Files on the FTP server gives you - ownership over your file, no matter where you want to take it, on or off Reddit.
These Files are limited edition, meaning a set number of each creator's files are available for purchase.
The sentences are still technically correct, but they are confusing because it becomes ambiguous when referring to "avatars" as files.
