You just encapsulated one of the dumbest shyts about capitalism in just a few sentences.
The constant effort to put a price on things that used to be free. How has that ever improved society?

That's the point.
The day before they did this, you could have a copy of the clip for free. Now they slap a number on it, call it a "collectable", and suddenly you're paying to own the exact same shyt you could own for free.
The very idea of some corporation distributing X amount of a fundamentally worthless product and then calling it a "collectable", for the sole purpose of increasing their own profit margin, is pure capitalism and does not create value for society. It's just part of the ever-cycling grift cycle (first cards, then sneakers, now clips) that corporations are forced to engage in to pursue every-increasing growth.

I Was curious. I bought a pack of 3 plays for 9 dollars on topshot. It seems fun and definitely something I would spent way too much money on.
Navigating the site is a bytch tho. I swear I can hear the Blockchain grinding whenever I click a link. Why the fukk is it so slow

its not that serious, dude you know there was a time you could get these top shots for a few dollars mane, these shyts are actually now worth a lil more than what they cost last year. They got millions of moments you can cop for a couple dollars bro this shyt ain't exclusive or hyper capitalist it's just a trading card game like Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon. All that doesn't create value for society stuff don't matter this shyt is literally a children's game.
These things cheap, some are like 2 dollars, no different than buying trading cards or weedThis is the dumbest shyt ever
but hey if people are making money off this good for them but holy shyt people buying NFTs with no intention of selling them are dumb as fukk.

Not a good analogy. In the painter case, there was an original copy then multiple copies could follow. In this case, multiple copies exist in hard drives and they are creating an original. Then again people put value on what they want based on their actions in the market. Why do people choose to put value in a bunch of algorithms (Bitcoin), shiny metal(gold). In the end you want to sell it to the next sucker that see value in whatever object you own.
